Easy Polenta chips

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
  

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Spoon the thick polenta into a lightly oiled dish and smooth it out. Let it cool completely in the dish, then chill until needed.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve them hot or at room temperature.
