Polenta Fries
I made the classic Polenta recently, here is a fun variation of Polenta – Polenta Fries.
Ingredients: Polenta, fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, fresh lime, parsley and ketchup
Polenta (fancy corn grits)
Diced garlic and fresh rosemary
Mix liquids, garlic and rosemary, turn the heat to low and stir the Polenta to a slow boil
The consistency will get thicker and creamier as it heats up
Keep turning and stirring until it gets really really thick (it takes about 8-10 minutes)
Turn off the heat and pour the Polenta into a baking dish
Let cool for about 20-30 minutes
Then cut them into long strips and drizzle with olive oil
Send them into a 420F oven for about 35 minutes
Here comes my golden polenta fries! Sprinkle some fresh lime juice and parsley. Serve with ketchup, ranch or creamy jalapeno

Note: the traditional way of making Polenta is adding lots of cheese and cream. I think it’s way too heavy so I deliberately got rid off cheese and sub’d unsweetened soy milk. I also added lots of garlic and rosemary, because why the hell not!?
