POLENTA
Into three pints of boiling water put a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoonful of butter. When boiling, sift in slowly, stirring constantly, about a pint of Indian meal and boil a half-hour. Have ready, hot, a cupful of good gravy, and one of tomato sauce, made with chile. Put a layer of the cooked Indian meal in the bottom of a baking-dish, then the sauce and gravy, sprinkled with a little grated cheese. Fill the dish with these alternate layers and bake for half an hour. Serve hot with a little extra chile.
