Polenta Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice the tube of polenta in half lengthwise, then slice each half in half lengthwise again. Slice each piece into 1/4-inch-thick slices to make triangular pieces with a rounded base. Add to a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the polenta bites to the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip each bite and bake until crispy but still slightly tender on the inside, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 5 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, transfer to platter and serve with a side of marinara for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the polenta into 18 chunky chips and the prosciutto into 18 strips. Put the polenta in a bowl along with the oil and a good grinding of pepper, and mix together. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around a polenta chip, then pop onto a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining chips and sprinkle over the Parmesan.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until golden, turning them over after 15 mins. Serve with tomato ketchup, if you like.

Steps:

• Grease and line with baking paper a 4cm deep x 22cm x 28cm slab pan.
• bring the stock and 2 cups of water to the boil in a large saucepan.
• Gradually add the polenta to the stock in a thin and steady stream, whilst whicking constantly. Ensure the mixture is evenly mixed.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon for 20-25 minutes. The grains should be soft. Add the parmesan cheese and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the polenta into the prepared pan and smooth over the surface with wet fingertips. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, until firm.
• Cut the polenta into 7cm long chips that are 2cm wide. Alternately you can cut into other desired shapes.
• oat chips firstly in the flour, dip in beaten eggs and coat in crumbs. You can use glutenfree bread crumbs or a commercial GF packaged crumb mix. Alternatively you can use dry polenta in place of breadcrumbs.
• Deep fry chips in small batches until golden and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack to drain (or use kitchen paper).
• Sprinkle with salt and serve as a side dish or with your favourite dipping sauce.
• Note:.
• time to make does not include refrigeration time.

Steps:

• In a large pan bring the water and stock to a rolling boil.
• Whisking constantly, add the polenta all at once in a steady stream.
• Reduce the heat and cook stirring constantly for about 10 minutes or until really thick. Be careful as thick polenta tends to 'erupt' like a volcano if left unattended, keep stirring being careful not to burn the bottom.
• Stir in the cheese and butter then season with salt.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, if you think it needs something then add it! I like finely chopped pickled jalapeño peppers personally.
• If the polenta is really thick then it is ready to pour into a square dish lined with cling film.
• Once cold it will be set and firm. Set the oven to 200C/400°F Turn out the polenta, remove cling film and cut into thick chips.
• Arrange on a baking tray lined with foil and sprayed generouly with cooking spray. Coat the chips with plenty of spray and bake for 20-40 minutes or until crisp and browned, turning over once during cooking and spraying again if necessary.
• The time they take to cook will depend on the size you cut them.
• Delicious and different but not 'out there'.
