Ingredients

  • 1 cup of polenta (cornmeal)
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Мethod of preparation

  1. Cook the Polenta: In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Once boiling, slowly stir in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the polenta is tender, about 30 minutes.
  2. Incorporate Cheese and Truffle Oil: Remove the polenta from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese has melted and the ingredients are fully combined.
  3. Spread and Cool: Pour the polenta mixture into a greased baking sheet. Spread it out to an even thickness, around 1/2-inch thick. Allow the polenta to cool completely and set, which should take about 1-2 hours.
  4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line another baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  5. Cut the Fries: Once the polenta has set, cut it into fry-shaped sticks or wedges. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Season and Bake: Drizzle the polenta fries with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Ensure they are evenly coated. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  7. Final Touch: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley for garnish. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
