Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups grated colby jack cheese
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- olive oil , for frying
- grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Add 6 cups of water to a heavy bottomed pot, then add the cornmeal in soon after. Some recipes call for you to wait for the water to boil. Don’t! Having made these many times, I tried multiple times to put the cornmeal in and whisk as well as I can to prevent lumps. Bottom line is it really doesn’t work and the polenta will start to attack you as it bubbles away, like bubbling hot lava.
- Mix in the salt, milk and cheese.
- Stir the polenta until it starts to pull away from the side of the pot.
- Pour into a rectangular pan and cool in the fridge or freeze until it sets up firmly. Set up a dredging station of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
- Cut the cornmeal cakes to your desired size and thickness.
- Dredge into the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs and cook in a skillet with 1/4 inch of canola oil until both sides are crispy. Serve with your favorite tomato sauce.
