So here's last night's dinner; part awesome, part cheater stuff I pulled out the Bacardi breezer! I found me a fry's burther and some granary rolls and defrosted those (that is Reggae Reggae Ketchup you see on the bun!). While the burger was cooking I made some polenta and then poured it into small Tupperware to firm up.
The coleslaw was just single serving made of a handful of carrot, a handful of shredded cabbage, a teaspoon of vegan mayo and a tablespoon of soya yoghurt then a bit of salt & pepper. The sweetcorn & beans just had a bit of salt, vinegar and sriracha on to make them less boring.
Then I cut up the polenta into fries and pan fried it in a bit of cooking spray just until it browned up a bit. Man they were SOOOOO good. I need to do this more often.

Aw, poor Postman Pat! I want to snorgle her!
ReplyDeletePolenta is one of my favorite foods. It doesn't matter if it's just the mushy stuff or a nice fried up version like yours - I can never get enough of the stuff. Your polenta Jockies' Whips look super crispy and yummy! :)
Don't feel too sorry for her. that adorable face barfed all over the living room floor yesterday. It was unpleasant!
DeleteAdorable cat!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favourite type of polenta or recipe/technique to get it sliceable? I'd like to give those a go but don't have great luck getting it sliceably firm.
Honestly I am probably not doing it right... but what I did for these was bring a cup of water to the boil, added a stock cube then slowly whisked in 1/4 cup of medium cornmeal. Then turn it down because that stuff volcanoes like crazy! Cook it stirring every so often for about 5 minutes and then add some nooch (a couple of tbsp.). By this point it was already quite thick so I just put it into a Tupperware and pressed it down. It was sliceable (but still soft so be careful) in about 5 minutes. Then I just gently pan-fried it for a few mins each side. HTH x
DeleteNawww... Kitty cat. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteOh man, I thought Jockies' Whips was going to mean something verrrrry different.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. I love polenta in all variations, but chips might be the best.
Aaah, your theme is so fun!
ReplyDeleteI've never made polenta fries - chips! - but now I think I have to.
I love polenta!
