Ingredients
- 750 ml water
- 150 g polenta
- knob of butter
- olive oil
Step 1: Boil The Polenta
Boil 750ml of water in a pan. Add 150g polenta to the pan in a stream so it drops in like rain. Add a knob of butter to the polenta, stir and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Set The Polenta
Grease a baking tin with a thin layer of olive oil. Pour the polenta onto the baking tray and spread out evenly over half the baking tray. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Fry The Polenta
Empty the polenta out onto the board. Cut out shapes of polenta, then add to a pan with a small amount of oil and fry the polenta over a medium heat. Flip the polenta half way through. Make sure the polenta gains a nice crispy outside, then add to a plate and serve.
