Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 cup water
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fine cornmeal
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto -- chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil

Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with baking spray.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the milk, water,
garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and gradually whisk in
the cornmeal, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and
cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until thick. Remove from
the heat and stir in the prosciutto, parsley and 3 tablespoons of the
cheese. Spread into the bottom of the prepared pan. Press plastic wrap
onto the surface and chill for 4 hours.

Preheat the broiler. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Remove the cornmeal, or polenta, mixture from the refrigerator and turn
out onto a cutting board. Cut into 4 equal triangles. Transfer to the
prepared baking sheet and brush with the oil. Sprinkle with the remaining
cheese. Broil 4-inches from the heat for 3 to 4-inches from the heat for 3
to 4 minutes, or until golden and hot. Serve immediately.

Make ahead by preparing the recipe up to the point of cutting into wedges.
Refrigerate for up to 2 days, then follow the recipe as directed.

AuthorNote: This scrumptious side dish completes your meals with a healthy
serving of complex carbohydrates. Make a batch on the weekend and your
midweek meal will come together in no time flat.

ChupaNote: this makes a great starter, cut into 2-inch squares instead of
4 wedges. Its also lovely with cornedbeef, white cheddar and dill weed
instead of parsley. Any little bits of leftover meat can be used, and the
Parmesan switched out for other cheese, the parsley replaced with other
herbs.
