Robert's Most Yum Polenta with Asparagus & Onion

Ingredients
2 cups water

1/2 cup plain yellow corn meal (no added ingredients)
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon Kosher coarse salt or sea salt

1 bunch of cooked asparagus (use the thinnest diameter asparagus you can find)
1 medium sweet onion sliced into onion rings


Procedure
In a 2 quart pot, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.

Add the corn meal mixture slowly (1/4 cup at a time) and stir with a whisk, rapidly and continuously.
Whisk until the mixture has a creamy texture.
Remove from heat.

Pour the polenta onto a parchment paper-lined tray.

Cut the asparagus into lengths of 2 inches.
Incorporate the asparagus into the polenta.
Layer the top with the onion rings.

Refrigerate until the polenta is firm.

To plate:
Remove the polenta from the refrigerator.
Cut the polenta into shapes such as squares, rectangles, or diagonals.
Use a flat spatula to remove the polenta pieces from the parchment paper.
Heat the polenta sections on a parchment paper-lined tray in a 350 degree (F) oven.

Place the polenta on a plate and garnish with fresh diced chives.
