Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups polenta (yellow cornmeal)
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups vegetable stock
2 cups water
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
cooking cooking spray

Steps:

  • In a large pan bring the water and stock to a rolling boil.
  • Whisking constantly, add the polenta all at once in a steady stream.
  • Reduce the heat and cook stirring constantly for about 10 minutes or until really thick. Be careful as thick polenta tends to 'erupt' like a volcano if left unattended, keep stirring being careful not to burn the bottom.
  • Stir in the cheese and butter then season with salt.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, if you think it needs something then add it! I like finely chopped pickled jalapeño peppers personally.
  • If the polenta is really thick then it is ready to pour into a square dish lined with cling film.
  • Once cold it will be set and firm. Set the oven to 200C/400°F Turn out the polenta, remove cling film and cut into thick chips.
  • Arrange on a baking tray lined with foil and sprayed generouly with cooking spray. Coat the chips with plenty of spray and bake for 20-40 minutes or until crisp and browned, turning over once during cooking and spraying again if necessary.
  • The time they take to cook will depend on the size you cut them.
  • Delicious and different but not 'out there'.

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ½ cups milk, of choice
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 cups polenta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
olive oil, for brushing (if baking)
4 cups canola oil, if frying
½ cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium pot over high heat, add the milk and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  • Whisk in the polenta and reduce the heat to low, whisking continuously for about 5 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the polenta is creamy.
  • Add the butter, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and stir until well-combined.
  • Transfer the polenta to the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly with a spatula. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days to set.
  • If baking, preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
  • Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix until well-combined. Chill until ready to use.
  • Carefully flip the baking sheet onto a cutting board to release the polenta. Slice in half lengthwise, and then cut into 22 equal-sized fries, each about 4 inches (10 cm) long and 1 inch (2 ½ cm) wide.
  • If baking, use a spatula to transfer the fries onto wire racks set over 2 baking sheets. Brush each fry generously with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with more oil, until golden brown.
  • If frying, heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 375ºF (190ºC). Using a large spider, submerge 2 fries at a time into the oil and fry for 2-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • Serve the fries with aioli.
  • Enjoy!
