1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Yellow cornmeal

In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly

stirring to keep smooth. Reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes,
stirring often until mixture is stiff. Meanwhile, in a small
saucepan, heat tomato sauce, oregano, corn, hot pepper flakes and
pepper. When cornmeal is stiff, turn half into a serving dish and top
with half the sauce. Layer remaining cornmeal and sauce and let rest
to 5 to 10 minutes. Cut in squares and serve.
