Prepare the Polenta
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.

Char the Corn
While the polenta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook until they are charred, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped jalapeno and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
