    Polenta Fries


    Source of Recipe


    BL Olson

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups milk sub
    2 cups water
    1 1/2 cups polenta (see above)
    1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
    1/2 cup grated soy Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup melted ghee or olive oil

    Recipe



    Bring the milk sub and water just to a boil in a large saucepan. Slowly stream in the polenta while stirring constantly. Stir in the salt and turn down the heat a bit if needed (you don't want the polenta to scorch).
    Continue stirring until the polenta thickens up, this can take anywhere from just a few minutes to much longer depending on your polenta. Stir in the cheese.

    Remove from heat and spread out 1/2-inch thick onto a baking sheet using a spatula (although I feel like I get a better shape by letting it cool a minute or two and then using my hands). Chill in a refrigerator for at least
    an hour, or overnight. Cut into wide-cut "fry" shapes using a straight-edge for guidance and uniformity (or opt for a more rustic cut). Rub each fry with a bit of clarified butter or olive oil and sprinkle with some salt.

    Bake in a 450 degree oven, middle rack, for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip the fries once after ten minutes.

    *Makes 2 dozen wide-cut fries.*
