Thick Polenta Oven Chips Fries Recipes

THICK POLENTA OVEN CHIPS (FRIES)

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'.

POLENTA FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
