I use polenta cos it reminds me of the sadza porridge we used to eat in Southe Africa. Have to be honest and say it is a bit bland but I have it with a spicey tomato and onion relish - it goes well together. I make it by adding the meal slowly to boiling water and stirring all the time until it's a thick consistency - also add a little salt. Keep cooking for about 10/15 minutes. If you use this method just watch the mixture doesn't spit out at you whilst you are stirring, specially at the beginning.
