You can make a delicious side-dish of polenta by using the premade polenta logs which are now widely available in most grocery stores and come in a variety of flavors. They taste pretty good and can save you much time. Prepare fried or broiled.
1 tube of premade polenta ? tablespoon olive oil ? tablespoon canola oil CornmealDirections:
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Slice the polenta into ? inch rounds, slicing through the plastic package with a sharp knife.
When the oil is hot, place the polenta slices in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Each side takes approximately 10 minutes.
When finished frying, place the polenta rounds on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
Serve warm.
Broil: Broiling is another way to cook prepared polenta. It comes out crispy, golden brown with much less fat than fried for those on a lower-fat diet. Just brush the sides lightly with olive oil and place on a broiler pan, broil approximately 10 minutes per side. In the summer you can grill polenta slices on your grill.
