Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large zucchini, shredded and drained on a paper towel
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the cornmeal and water together in a small bowl.
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Lower heat to medium-low and slowly add cornmeal, stirring for about 2 minutes or until the polenta is smooth (use a long-handled spoon to stir the polenta; it bubbles up and will burn).

  5. 5
    Spread mixture into an 8-inch square glass baking dish that has been coated lightly with cooking spray.

    Let stand 5 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.
