This versatile side dish would work great along with pork, chicken, beef or fish. The trick is to slowly add the cornmeal and whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

CHEESY POLENTA

Adapted from a recipe by "dadrules" at allrecipes.com. This can be modified by addition of any herb that suits your main dish - basil, tarragon, sage, thyme and marjoram are all excellent additions. You can substitute any semi-hard, smooth-melting cheese for the Cheddar; Asiago and Italian Fontina are both excellent choices.
