add salt. Gradually add the cornmeal and boil rapidly for 5 minutes, stirring
constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Do not stir. A crust

cheese or serve separately.
While warm, roll in parchment and foil then chill. This will enable the
roll to be sliced off into rounds and grilled to order.
