1 cup salsa

Here is how you make Black Beans and Polenta:

To make polenta, bring the water and salt to a boil. Then add the cornmeal very slowly so it doesn't clump. Keep stirring on low heat until it's really thick. Be careful because it will bubble and splash! This might take 20 minutes or so.When it is thickened, and comes off the sides of the pot, spread onto a 9X13 greased pan. While polenta is sitting, combine black beans and salsa in sauce pan on medium heat. When polenta is cooled a bit (10 minutes or so), cut into 12 even pieces. Place two pieces of polenta on a plate and scoop some black bean mixture on top. This is really filling and tasty! I used the zucchini salsa that I made at harvest time. Feel free to add other veggies if you like. Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MARYTAZ.
