Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter
2/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 tsp nutmeg
pepper
1 cup polenta (aka corn grits - coarse ground yellow cornmeal)
5 tbsp olive oil (for sauteing rounds)

Directions:

In a small skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter over medium heat; saute the pecans until lightly browned.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a saucepan, combine chicken stock, butter, nutmeg, and pepper; bring to a boil.
Pour cornmeal into boiling stock with one hand while whisking mixture with the other.
When it's all in, turn the heat down to low and cook until thick (10-15 minutes).
Remove from heat and mix in pecans.
Line a 12 baking pan with wax paper and spread polenta evenly in pan; allow to cool completely.
With a 2-2 1/2 cookie or buscuit cutter, cut polenta into rounds.
Carefully remove from pan with a spatula and saute in oil (starting with 2 tablespoons in pan and adding the rest as needed) until lightly browned on both sides.
