Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tube precooked polenta (about 1 pound)
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sesame-Ginger Yogurt Dip, recipe follows
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon za'atar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Zest and juice from 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Square off the sides of the polenta. Cut the rectangle into about 45 sticks (2 inches by 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch). Add the flour to a shallow baking dish or pie plate. Dredge the polenta sticks in the flour and shake off the excess.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Line a baking sheet with paper towel.
  • Cook the polenta fries in batches until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet to drain. Season with salt and pepper while hot.
  • Serve with Sesame-Ginger Yogurt Dip alongside.
  • Combine the yogurt, za'atar, ginger and lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Whisk in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.

These fries were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more herbs and spices.
