Background

I love these easy Polenta chips because they can be served as a side dish with grilled meat or fish; as an appetizer with a yummy dip; or just as a snack to nibble on anytime during the day. Of course polenta is gluten-free and dairy free (if cooked in water or stock) so it’s ideal for vegans and those who have gluten issues.

Ingredients

150g Coarse cornmeal
450 ml vegetable stock
Coconut oil for pan-frying

Instructions

Bring the stock to a boil. Add the polenta, stirring, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to stir until the polenta is thickened - this takes approximately 10 minutes.
Spoon the thick polenta into a lightly oiled dish and smooth it out. Let it cool completely in the dish, then chill until needed.
Cut the now solid polenta into 2cm thick chips then pan-fry them in coconut oil (or grill) until golden brown. You can add garlic or herbs (rosemary, thyme) to the cooking oil.
Serve them hot or at room temperature.
