Ingredients

Crispy Polenta Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Directions

1. Cook the Polenta

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. Add Cornmeal

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of cornmeal, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

3. Simmer

Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta thickens (about 15-20 minutes).

4. Add Cheese and Oil

Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 0.5 cups of grated parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with black pepper to taste.

5. Set Polenta

Transfer the polenta to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes to set.

6. Cut and Fry

Once set, cut the polenta into desired shapes (slices or sticks). Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the polenta pieces until golden and crispy on all sides.

7. Serve

Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and serve warm as a side dish.
