Bring the water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Add the salt. Reduce heat to a simmer, and begin to add the cornmeal in a very thin stream so you can see the individual grains, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Never stop stirring, and keep the water at a slow, steady simmer. Continue stirring for about 20 minutes (it may take up to 50 minutes depending on the type of cornmeal used), until all the cornmeal has been added. You will know it is done when it tears away from the sides of the pot as you stir. When polenta is cooked, spoon it into a large slightly wet bowl, wait 5 minutes, and turn it out onto a serving platter. Serve it with a meat or tomato sauce.
