Ingredients: 

1 cup yellow corn grits

1 teaspoon tamari

1 tablespoon olive oil

Generous pinch dried basil

3 cups filtered water

Directions: 

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk to combine.

Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking frequently to prevent lumping and scorching.

Reduce heat to low and cook polenta over low heat, whisking frequently until the center of the polenta bursts like a big bubble.

Spoon polenta evenly into a lightly oiled shallow baking dish and set aside. The polenta will be firm after about 30 minutes.

Notes: 

Try adding 1 cup of your favorite vegetable or 10-15 of your favorite olives, finely chopped to the mixture.

You can cut pieces of the firmed polenta to use in many differnet dished, ie: sautee veggies and place on top of polenta pieces, drizzle with olive oil.
