Yield Makes 28 polenta sticks

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 pound)

Steps:

  • Butter a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish.
  • In a large heavy saucepan bring water to a boil and add salt. Add sage and 1/3 cup cornmeal, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add remaining cup cornmeal in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Cook mixture over low heat, whisking, 1 minute and remove pan from heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup Parmesan and stir polenta until butter is incorporated. Working quickly, spread polenta evenly in prepared dish and chill until firm, about 20 minutes. Polenta may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • In a small saucepan melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Invert polenta onto a work surface. Halve polenta lengthwise and cut each half crosswise into 14 sticks. Arrange sticks on prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Broil sticks about 4 inches from heat until golden, about 4 to 6 minutes. Turn sticks over and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Broil sticks until cheese is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes more.

These were a waste of time. They were bland and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my polenta sticks didn't turn out crispy. They were still good, but I was disappointed.

These were a bit too oily for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

These were really good! The polenta was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The Parmesan and sage flavor was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of polenta, but these sticks were really good. The Parmesan and sage flavor was really nice.
