Sounds a bit like a sideways pizza. :)

*mems* probably will pass the recipe to mum but it does sound good.

That sounds absolutely amazingly delicious.

Next time you're in London, stay over at mine and make this instead of having to pay hotel fees. Well, you'd be welcome here anyway, but I'm just angling for this dish.

Well, with quinoa instead of polenta, that is.

That would be challenging, as it doesn't form a solid cake. Or will it, if you overcook it and then chill it?

My mother used to make what I now call polenta, except she cooked it in butter and called it 'fried cornmeal mush', which I suppose was the Yankee name. We had it with maple syrup, like pancakes. The Italian name has won out regionally; 'mush' just doesn't have appeal! (I still say it's better than 'grits' though.)
