Polenta is a good alternative to the usual potatoes, rice and pasta. Its readily available in most supermarkets and easy to cook.

4 cups uncooked polenta
8 ounces of crab meat
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and pressed
1 can of plum tomatoes (in sauce)
teaspoon oregano
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
A handful of fresh basil to garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

First prepare all ingredients. Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and cook over low heat for approximately 4 to 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, chilli, crab and oregano and cook a further 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes in sauce and mix through. Gently simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

Meanwhile cook the polenta according to package instructions. Remove from heat and stir through a little olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, cover and set aside.

Time the cooking so that the polenta and crab mixture are ready approximately at the same time. Serve a little polenta in each bowl and top with the crab sauce mixture. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve.
