- Bring salted water to the boil and when it is boiling, lower the heat and add 1/2 cup of polenta to form a mixture. Then add the remaining polenta and cook until creamy. Add thyme, salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the polenta on a baking tray lined with waxed paper, or in a greased baking dish. We can put some grated cheese on top.
