Turn the polenta into a slice tray , spread evenly  and chill over night.
To serve polenta ....cut into strips ...and pan fry in rice bran oil with torn marjoram and sage leaves ..( if you are feeding young children use cookie cutters to create some polenta monsters or animals for the plate )
Drain on paper towelling  and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top.
