Grilled Polenta Sticks

Ingredients for Grilled Polenta Sticks

• 1550ml cold water

How to make Grilled Polenta Sticks

Brush a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with water.

Combine 1550ml cold water with salt and cornmeal in a 5-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring constantly with a long-handled wooden spoon, until polenta begins to pull away from side of pot, 20 to 25 minutes. Pour polenta into baking pan, spreading evenly with a dampened heatproof rubber spatula. Cool in pan on a rack until polenta is lukewarm and set, about 20 minutes.

Brush a baking sheet with olive oil and invert baking pan with polenta onto sheet to unmold.

Preheat grill.

Brush polenta with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with cheese. Grill about 4 inches from heat until pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, then cut into 3- by 1 1/2-inch sticks.
