one large pan deep sided
1 onion chopped
mushrooms chopped as many as you like
1 pepper or 2 any colour
1 cup of fine polenta
10grams of mexican spices i choose fajitas mix
40grams of cheddar cheese
3 cups of cold water

dry fry the onions for a few minutes until the start to become transluscent then add the pepper fry for a few moments then add the mushrooms. let them sweat for a while to reduce the moisture then pour the 3 cups of cold water into the pan then the polenta and spice mix. you need to keep stirring it as it cooks this will thicken really quickly i cooked mine for 15 mins but you can cook it for longer just remember to keep stirring it. it can hurt you hand so keep your oh at hand for stirring duty :-). once cooked pour into a bowls and leave to set and cool. i used two bowls this makes quite alot i freeze the extra. once it is set i turned it out from the bowl i cut it in half one half i chopped into slices similar to chips. i froze the other half. then i dry fried this in a non stick pan once brown and crispy serve.
i had it in a wholemeal pitta bread with a rocket salad and toms and hummous etc it was lovely add what ever veg you like i think sweetcorn would be good garlic. i hope you enjoy it
