Fried polenta tastes AMAZING. It's one of the best fried foods out there as far as I'm concerned. Frying polenta gives it a chewy and crunchy outside, while the inside stays nice and creamy. It's perfect served with marinara sauce on the side!
Ingredients:
Keep in mind that the polenta will stick to the bottom of the pan and everything else if the oil isn't hot enough. It's best to use a nice stainless steel spatula for flipping - one with a really thin edge. That way you can slowly work it under the pieces of polenta without destroying their crispy crust. :D
Ingredients:
- one batch of homemade polenta, cooled and cut into slices.
- olive or vegetable oil for frying
- sauce for dipping
- Cut your cooled polenta into slices 1/2 inch thick - make them as pretty or simple as you want!
- Heat about a 1/4-1/2 inch of oil in a small frying pan until it's nice and hot and starting to smoke.
- Add in your polenta slices without crowding them and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
