Herbed Polenta Squares Time: 15 minutes (with quick-cooking polenta)
1 cup chicken stock
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup polenta
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 tbs fresh chives
1 tbs fresh oregano
1 tbs fresh basil
1 tsp olive oil for baking dish
Snip herbs. Bring stock and oil to boil in a small saucepan. Add polenta, whisking constantly - or it will have little volcanic eruptions spewing polenta all over your stove. Turn heat down and cook about 5 minutes (or whatever your package tells you), stirring constantly. You may have to switch to a wooden spoon. When done, stir in cheese and herbs. Pour into a 7" (17cm) square glass baking dish that has been brushed with oil. Let cool 5 minutes, cut into squares and serve.
