Number Of Ingredients 6

Extra-virgin olive oil, for pan
Coarse salt
1 1/3 cups polenta (about 9 ounces)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
7 cups sunflower oil, for frying
Sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Brush a small rimmed baking sheet with olive oil; set aside. In a large pot, bring 6 cups water to a boil over high heat; season with salt. Slowly whisk in polenta, and cook, partially covered, and stirring every 4 to 5 minutes, over medium-low heat until it begins to thicken, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Carefully pour polenta onto prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to an even thickness. Let cool, and tear into 1-inch pieces; lightly dust with flour.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Meanwhile, heat sunflower oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Using a slotted spoon, carefully add polenta in batches while maintaining the temperature of the oil. Cook until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Serve immediately seasoned with sea salt.

This recipe was a disaster. The polenta was mushy and the cheese sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my polenta didn't come out crispy at all. It was still good, but not what I was expecting.

This was my first time making polenta and it was a success! The polenta was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, just like I wanted it to be. I served it with a simple tomato sauce and it was delicious.
