Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

In a microwaveable bowl, mix the water, cornmeal, oil, and salt. Place the bowl, uncovered, in the microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Halfway through cooking, take the bowl out of the microwave and give it a stir, adding a splash of milk if the polenta looks like it\u2019s drying out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Put the bowl back in the microwave and heat the rest of the time. It should be thick and will thicken more as it cools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
