- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 7/220 C/425 F.
- Put the water in a large stainless steel sauce pan, add in the salt and bring to the boil. Gradually trickle in the cornmeal or possibly polenta in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps forming.
- The polenta will thicken quite rapidly; if you add in too much cornmeal and it becomes very difficult to stir, add in a little more water.
- Reduce the heat so which the polenta bubbles gently and cook for 20-25 min, or possibly till it is very thick, stirring frequently.
- Turn the polenta out onto a wooden board and spread it out, leave to cold.
- Heat the oil in a frying-pan, add in the onions and fry for 10 min or possibly till browned.
- Cut the cool Polenta into slices and arrange them in layers with the mozzarella or possibly pecorino cheese and onion in an oiled 750ml (11/4 pint)
- ovenproof dish (such as a souffle dish).
- Begin and end with a layer of polenta, and sprinkle each layer with a little salt.
- Sprinkle the parmesan over the top and bake in the oven for 20-25 min or possibly till crisp and golden brown.
- NOTES : Baked in the oven with onions and cheese, this polenta becomes the centrepiece of any meal.
