This weekend has
been very good so far. We went for a long walk at the harbour
yesterday. It was cloudy and drizzly, but not too bad altogether. We
ended up at a new beer release in one of our favourite bars. The new
beer was a Belgian style cherry and vanilla beer, which was such a
perfect choice for yesterday. Today I need to do food shopping for
next week. I know, it's not so great to do it on a Sunday, but next
week will be busy again, so it's best to get it out of the way. The
shop we are planning to go to is just next to our local park, so it
will also be a nice stroll through the park.
I had this
unopened bag of polenta in my cupboard for a while. I like polenta,
but it's not part of my usual basics, so that's why it was left for a
while. I suddenly remembered that polenta chips would be great for a
change and decided to make them. They are really easy to make and you
can customise the seasoning as you like. I served my polenta chips
with a tomato dip, veggie cheese Schnitzel and side salad. It was a
good combo.

stock and season it with salt, pepper, dried wild garlic and garlic

polenta evenly on a lined roasting tray and let it cool. Chill it in
the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Cut chips from the
polenta and shallow fry the chips in vegetable oil until they are

polenta chips sound lovely - I have a bag of polenta that has been ignored and now I wonder where it is! I tried to use some up in polenta that I fried in big squares which was great but must see if it is still about needing to be used and try some chips
ReplyDeleteFried polenta squares also sound nice, perhaps with some roasted veg on top. I still have some polenta left, so I'll need to use it soon. I also once made a polenta lasagne, replacing the pasta sheets with thin polenta layers. It was pretty good.
DeleteThese look good, its been a good while since i made polenta chips, looking back on my blog it was in 2009, but i know i have made them since then, your post is a reminder to make them again, be a nice change from potatoes!
