Add the onion, scallions, tomato, sweet pepper and okra. Cook, stirring, until well blended and slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. In a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the coconut milk over low heat. Add the cornmeal, cooked vegetables, salt, black pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme. Cook for 20 minutes, turning frequently with a large, strong utensil. If serving immediately, spoon the cornmeal directly onto the plates. Otherwise, place the mixture a serving dish and form it into a mold. When you are ready to serve, cut it into wedges. Makes 6 servings (plus 2 extra for morning-after leftovers) "A simpler version of this recipe from a Jamaican friend goes like this: Fry an onion with a likkle water and trow de kahnmeal of 1 pownd. Turn and turn adding wata, 1 pint and a likkle." "This versatile preparation is similar to Italian polenta. It can be eaten on its own or it pairs nicely with any well-sauced dish. If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, slice and fry it as a tasty side for your morning eggs."
