Grilled Polenta Sticks

These grilled polenta sticks are a versatile vegetarian dish that works beautifully as a gluten-free alternative to traditional chips or as a sophisticated side for roasted vegetables. By slowly cooking the cornmeal until thick and creamy before chilling, you create a firm base that develops a wonderful texture when finished under the grill. The addition of salty Parmigiano-Reggiano provides a savoury crust that complements the mild, earthy flavour of the corn.

Perfect for sharing, these homemade sticks are easy to prepare in advance and finish just before serving. They make a fantastic addition to a Mediterranean-style feast or can be enjoyed as a simple snack dipped into a rich tomato sauce or a cooling garlicky dip. High in slow-release carbohydrates, they are a satisfying and comforting option for those seeking a wholesome, wheat-free accompaniment to their favourite meals.

Ingredients for Grilled Polenta Sticks

  • 1550ml cold water

  • 1 1/2 cucharaditas de sal

  • 300g yellow cornmeal (not stone-ground)

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil plus additional for brushing

How to make Grilled Polenta Sticks

Brush a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with water.

Combine 1550ml cold water with salt and cornmeal in a 5-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring constantly with a long-handled wooden spoon, until polenta begins to pull away from side of pot, 20 to 25 minutes. Pour polenta into baking pan, spreading evenly with a dampened heatproof rubber spatula. Cool in pan on a rack until polenta is lukewarm and set, about 20 minutes.

Brush a baking sheet with olive oil and invert baking pan with polenta onto sheet to unmold.

Precaliente la parrilla.

Brush polenta with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with cheese. Grill about 4 inches from heat until pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, then cut into 3- by 1 1/2-inch sticks.
