Thickpolentaovenchipsfries Recipes

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'.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine milk, chicken stock, and butter; bring to rolling boil. Slowly whisk in polenta. Turn down heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until polenta pulls from edge of pan. Mix in cheese and parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread polenta evenly over a cookie sheet, and refrigerate until cold.
• Transfer polenta to cutting board and cut into cut 3/4 by 3/4 by 3 1/2 inch sticks.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry polenta sticks in batches until crispy. Place on dry paper towels to drain.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Halve the hot dogs lengthwise, then cut each half in half lengthwise, and then in half again lengthwise so that you yield 8 hot dog "fries" from each. Lay the cut pieces in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake until the hot dogs are lightly browned and starting to curl up, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fries to paper towels to dry, then mound them on a plate and serve with the three dippers.
• Mix the ketchup and jam together in a bowl and serve.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, sauerkraut, mustard, granulated garlic and salt in a bowl until combined.
• Mix the mustard, relish, celery salt, sport peppers and tomato in a bowl until combined.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Thinly slice the potatoes lengthwise 1/8-inch thick. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on nonstick baking sheet. Brush the potatoes with extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary and grill seasoning. Bake potatoes turning once 25 minutes until crisp.

Steps:

• Combine the broth and milk in a heavy based large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over HIGH heat. Slowly whisk the polenta into the hot cream mixture.
• Whisk the polenta over MEDIUM heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to MEDIUM to LOW and simmer gently, stirring often, for about 45 minutes or until the polenta is thick and creamy and no longer has a starchy taste.
• Remove the polenta from the heat. Stir in the parmesan cheese, butter, and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• In a medium pot over high heat, add the milk and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
• Whisk in the polenta and reduce the heat to low, whisking continuously for about 5 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the polenta is creamy.
• Add the butter, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and stir until well-combined.
• Transfer the polenta to the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly with a spatula. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days to set.
• If baking, preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
• Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and mix until well-combined. Chill until ready to use.
• Carefully flip the baking sheet onto a cutting board to release the polenta. Slice in half lengthwise, and then cut into 22 equal-sized fries, each about 4 inches (10 cm) long and 1 inch (2 ½ cm) wide.
• If baking, use a spatula to transfer the fries onto wire racks set over 2 baking sheets. Brush each fry generously with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with more oil, until golden brown.
• If frying, heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 375ºF (190ºC). Using a large spider, submerge 2 fries at a time into the oil and fry for 2-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool for at least 5 minutes.
• Serve the fries with aioli.
• Enjoy!
