Good stock provides the flavour base for this delicate broth. If you are not making your own low-salt stock, try a high-quality commercial stock sold chilled, rather than a stock cube, but still keep added salt to the minimum.

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Polenta is a wonderfully versatile ingredient, as is shown by this quick and simple base for pizza. On its own, polenta can be quite bland, but it is an excellent foil for other flavours such as the tuna, olives, herbs and rich tomato sauce that make up the pizza topping. Serve the pizza with a green salad.
