1
Open can of tuna, measure peas, and have spices ready to measure - it is important to stir constantly in the beginning to avoid lumps so I like to have everything ready to go.
2
Bring water to a boil.
3
Stir as you sprinkle in polenta.
4
As you add the rest of the ingredients (except butter sub.), continue stirring.
5
After the polenta has thickened and the peas are no longer able to float, you only need to stir it every few minutes.
6
Add butter substitute.
7
Cook for about 20 minutes so flavors have time to blend.
8
Serve warm.
9
Refrigerate leftovers immediately.
