Polenta is great set into squares and pan-fried.
- Brush a 20 x 30cm (base measurement) slab pan with melted butter to lightly grease.
- Bring the water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add the polenta in a thin steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring for 3-5 minutes or until the polenta is soft. Stir in the butter, olives and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the polenta into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Set aside to cool. Cover and place in the fridge to set.
- Cut the polenta into 6 pieces. Place the flour on a large plate and season with salt and pepper. Add the polenta and toss to coat. Shake off excess.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the polenta pieces. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining polenta.
