- Adjust to maintain a simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens and coats meat, about 15 minutes. Remove form heat. Stir in olives and parsley.
- POLENTA: in a large saucean over high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in polenta, milk and salt, stirring constantly, until smooth and polenta begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until polenta begins to bubble and pop about 10 minutes.

- TO ASSEMBLE: Spread lamb filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
