Number Of Ingredients 6

Extra-virgin olive oil, for pan
Coarse salt
1 1/3 cups polenta (about 9 ounces)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
7 cups sunflower oil, for frying
Sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Brush a small rimmed baking sheet with olive oil; set aside. In a large pot, bring 6 cups water to a boil over high heat; season with salt. Slowly whisk in polenta, and cook, partially covered, and stirring every 4 to 5 minutes, over medium-low heat until it begins to thicken, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Carefully pour polenta onto prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to an even thickness. Let cool, and tear into 1-inch pieces; lightly dust with flour.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Meanwhile, heat sunflower oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Using a slotted spoon, carefully add polenta in batches while maintaining the temperature of the oil. Cook until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Serve immediately seasoned with sea salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and herbs to the polenta and it was much better. I also served it with a spicy tomato sauce.
