Polenta Croutons Recipe - Emmasmum - 01-22-2008
Does anyone have a recipe for the polenta croûtons that are listed with the Simple Cesaer salad recipe.
Thanks

Doesn't that sound like a good idea. I'll add my request as well. I had polenta tonight and have leftovers.

Polenta Croutons
(Cuisine at home, April 2005, Issue 50, p. 29)
Makes: 3 Cups Total Time: 20 Minutes + Chilling
Bring to a Boil; Whisk in:
3 cups water
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 t. kosher salt
Stir in:
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat; Fry Croutons in:
Vegetable oil 1/2-inch deep
Season with:
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Line a baking sheet with 1/2"-high sides (jelly roll pan) with parchment paper; coat with nonstick spray.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
Stir in cornmeal and salt, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Spread mixture onto prepared pan and chill until firm, about 2 hours. Cut polenta into cubes the size of playing dice.
Heat oil over medium-high in a nonstick skillet. Fry croutons in batches until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally. Transfer croutons to a paper towel-lined plate.
Season with remaining Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately. Shown here with Simple Caesar Salad.

Thanks Jean! This is on the menu for next week along with Chicken Parm and Caesar. (With fresh polenta by then, of course...LOL!)

Thank you so much for the recipe. Thought it was strange to get only part of a recipe by email.
