Polenta Chips - Gluten Free

Submitted by Jubes

"These are a great snack or side-dish dipped in your favourite dipping sauce Also good for a party finger food or buffet dish. As with all gluten free cooking ensure you use GF ingredients. I use Massel brand liquid stock as it is gluten free. Makes approx 40 chips. You can use vegetable stock to make a vegetarian option. As a variation you can cut these into small rounds (instead of chips) using a biscuit cutter and serve them as an appetizer topped with your favourites eg smoked salmon and ricotta."

6. Cut the polenta into 7cm long chips that are 2cm wide. Alternately you can cut into other desired shapes.
7. oat chips firstly in the flour, dip in beaten eggs and coat in crumbs. You can use glutenfree bread crumbs or a commercial GF packaged crumb mix. Alternatively you can use dry polenta in place of breadcrumbs.
8. Deep fry chips in small batches until golden and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack to drain (or use kitchen paper).
