Steps:
- In a pan, bring 3 cups water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Stir with a whisk as you sprinkle the polenta into the boiling water. Let the mixture cook for 3-5 minutes, or for the time given in the packet instructions. Add extra (boiling) water if necessary, the polenta should be nice and soft. Grate in nearly all of the Parmesan. Taste and season with freshly ground pepper and more salt, if necessary.
- When cooked, pour half of the polenta onto a flat plate that you've greased with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for tomorrow.
- While the polenta cooks, sauté the mushrooms in a small splash of olive oil over a medium-high heat for around 10 minutes. Add the garlic at the end and cook briefly, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Remove the mushrooms from the pan and add the spinach. Stir-fry the spinach until just wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and fry an egg (you might need to add another small splash of olive oil).
- Stir the butter into the cooked polenta and spoon it into a deep plate. Arrange the mushrooms and spinach on the polenta and top with the fried egg. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Top with the rest of the Parmesan, in slices.

- In a Dutch oven, bring the chicken broth, oil, garlic and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and whisk in the polenta.

- Pour the polenta into a large bowl and serve with grated Parmesan over the top.
POLENTA AND POACHED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS
In an effort to remove most processed white stuff - flour and sugar - from my diet, have recently begun to experiment more with grains. One Sunday I was in the mood for something decadent like Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine and came up with this. Thought it was good enough for sharing. The recipe requires a bit of work so for convenience, one could make this with either store bought or left over polenta wedges. Country Lady has great instructions for making poached eggs (#79662) if you need more detail. This would work well for those in the later phases of the South Beach Diet.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup of water to boil and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to boil in a small sauce pan.
- Stir 1/4 cup of cold water into the cornmeal so that it will form a paste; this helps prevent lumps in the polenta.
- Whisk the cornmeal into the boiling water and reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Add basil and continue to stir cornmeal occasionally for 15 minutes; if the polenta gets too thick, add more water.
- In another pan, simmer 4 cups of water and white vinegar for poaching eggs.
- Once the water reaches a simmer, carefully break eggs into water on at a time, spooning water in the eggs to help them form and retain their shape.
- Depending on how you like your yolks, cook 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, begin to saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to cook another 2 minutes.
- Wring the excess water from the thawed spinach and add to the onions, garlic and mushrooms.
- Cook and additional 4-5 minutes.
- Add spaghetti sauce and balsamic vinegar until sauce is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the dish, spoon the polenta onto 2 serving plates, top with the spinach mushroom sauce, and 2 eggs.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
