| 1 | Bring water to boil in heavy pan. |
| 2 | Lower to simmer. |
| 3 | Add corn meal in very fine stream, stirring constantly. |
| 4 | Once all of meal is added, keep stirring until the mush pulls away from the sides of the pan or you feel you are going to start screaming uncontrollably ( it helps to listen to something very compelling while doing this, either a spouse, so, the radio, or a political demonstration). |
| 5 | Pour immediately onto a flat plate, a cake tin, or a tart pan. |
| 6 | Smooth top and cool for 30 minutes until firm. |
| 7 | meanwhile, saute onions and garlic until lightly brown in olive oil. |
| 8 | Add chopped vegetables and seasonings, cook until soft. |
| 9 | Pile, with juices from veggies, onto polenta. |
| 10 | Spread around. |
| 11 | Add any seasonings you want and enough cheese to cover if you want (which is why i didn"t put in amounts). |
| 12 | Broil or nuke until melted and toasted sort of on top. |
| 13 | Eat warm or cool. |
