Preparation
 
In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly
pour cornmeal into saucepan so that water does not stop boiling,
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.
