Ingredients
  

  • 300 g quick-cook polenta
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and crushed

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6. Mix the dry polenta grains with the garlic and parsley. Into a saucepan, pour the polenta mix into the required amount of boiling water as stated on the cooking packet. Cook polenta until a smooth consistency is achieved. Then pour into a baking tray. Set aside to cool.

For extra flavour, use stock to cook the polenta in instead of water.
