Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Polenta
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Add Flavor
Stir in truffle oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Shape and Chill
Pour the polenta into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool and set for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Cut into Fries
Once set, cut the polenta into fry shapes. You can make them as thick or thin as you like.
Fry the Polenta
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the polenta fries until golden and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Prepare Chipotle Aioli
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Prepare Zesty Marinara
In a saucepan, heat crushed tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes over medium heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Serve
Serve the crispy polenta fries topped with grated parmesan cheese, alongside chipotle aioli and zesty marinara sauce for dipping.
