I have not tried these but they sound interesting. It was recommended that they are served with 'Instead of Ketchup'. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
0.5 (16 ounce) package prepared polenta, cut crosswise |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (parsley works too) |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, salt, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne; set aside.
2. Cut polenta lengthwise in 6 thin slices; cut each slice lengthwise into 4 strips.
3. Toss polenta strips in flour to coat.
4. In a skillet heat oil over medium-high heat, add polenta strips.
5. Cook 7-8 minutes stirring occasionally, until golden.
6. Drain on paper towels.
7. Place fries in a bowl with sugar mixture and toss to coat.
8. Sprinkle with the red pepper and basil.
9. Serve immediately or keep warm on a baking sheet in 325 degree oven for up to 20 minutes.
