  3. Cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Peel, seed, and finely chop the tomatoes.
  5. Add these to the pan, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook gently for 1 1/2 hours.
  6. While the sauce cooks: Soak the mushrooms in warm water and finely chop the giblets.
  7. When the mushrooms have been soaking for 30 minutes, drain, pat dry, and chop finely.
  8. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil, at least 8 1/2 cups.
  9. Pour in the cornmeal, stirring constantly, lower the heat, and cook gently, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes, or until it is a thick, smooth mass.
  10. Pour it into a square baking pan, let it cool, and then cut into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  11. Set aside.
  12. Melt 3 tablespoons butter and saute the mushrooms and giblets gently for 5 minutes.
  13. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  14. Rub a fairly large pie dish generously with butter.

  16. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and add a layer of sliced Parmesan.
  17. Dot with butter.
  18. Continue in this manner until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan and slivers of butter.
