This is great for breakfast, pan-fried in a little oil and served with maple syrup.

Diet Types: Vegan, Vegetarian, Wheat Free

Ingredients:

1 cup "high lysine" cornmeal

2 1/2 - 3 cups water or Vegetable Stock

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons canola oil

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 30 minutes - one hour

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. In a heavy pot, dissolve the cornmeal in the cold water. Add the salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. The cornmeal will thicken as it cooks. When it has thickened, turn heat to medium, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Add more water if it becomes too thick to stir. Halfway through cooking time, add oil. Spoon mixture into a lightly oiled pie plate or loaf pan and bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Cool and slice.
