fried polenta cakes
I tried frying up some leftover polenta for the first time yesterday.
I had poured the still creamy warm leftovers into a pyrex baking dish and put in the fridge the day before. I cut it into squares, like brownies, and fried them in olive oil and butter. I wasn't sure how long or how hot. They got a nice crispy outer shell and were creamy on the inside. It took them longer to fry that I expected, and more heat as well. Served with generous amounts of red sauce dolloped on top. They were pretty good but I wonder if they could be better. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will definitely make polenta again - it's a great food on a cold winter day! |

I do that with cornmeal mush. A couple of eggs on the side doesn't hurt either. leo |

It is in Bothell. |

Fried it hot enough to brown the slices by the time it was hot through. In bacon grease. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |

Maybe make sure the sauce has plenty of garlic and basil. Jill |

I add shredded cheese to the still warm grits, then chill them in the fridge overnight. Form into little pancakes and brown them in butter and oil. Sure, you can drizzle with syrup or honey but you know I'm not big into sweet. I like them plain. Pan fried and yes, served with an egg or two on the side. Jill |

Gotta have something else with it, in my opinion. I like it w/ italian sausage and some kinda veg. |

Rosie, why dip slices of polenta in flour? It is totally unnecessary. I love fried mush, but
have never known anyone to dip slices in flour before frying. N. |
