POLENTA FRITTA
Fried Polenta

Leftover polenta can be fried simply in a skillet with olive or vegetable oil, but polenta fried with a cover of breadcrumbs becomes pleasantly crunchy and tasty.

It can be served as a delicious side for a dish of meat or baccala’ and also makes a great hot appetizer.


leftover polenta, sliced
plain breadcrumbs
salt
frying oil

Cut the polenta slices in about 2 inch (5 cm) squares. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and add a pinch of salt. Dredge the polenta slices in the breadcrumbs and set aside.

Put the oil in the pan and turn the heat to medium. When the oil is hot shake away the excess breadcrumbs from the polenta pieces and place them in the pan. Fry on both sides until light brown.

Transfer the fried polenta to a dish covered with a paper towel to drain the excess oil. Serve hot at once.
