About Fried polenta
Fried polenta is a delicious dish originating from Italian cuisine, made from boiled cornmeal that is cooled and solidified before being sliced and pan-fried or deep-fried to create a golden, crispy exterior. Traditionally served as a side dish or appetizer, polenta complements a variety of flavors and toppings, from savory cheese and herbs to rich tomato-based sauces. Cornmeal, the primary ingredient, is naturally gluten-free and provides carbohydrates, fiber, and modest amounts of protein, making it a source of energy. While polenta itself is relatively healthy, frying can increase its fat and calorie content depending on the type and quantity of oil used. Balancing fried polenta with vegetables or lean proteins can make it part of a nourishing meal. Its versatility and comforting texture continue to make it a favorite across many cuisines and dining occasions.
