Around the World Fries: Crispy Polenta Poutine Popular Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Two 1-pound tubes prepared polenta
- 2 tablespoons garlic-herb seasoning
- Kosher salt
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons drained and rinsed capers
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced into ribbons
- 1 lemon, zested
Steps for making Around the World Fries: Crispy Polenta Poutine
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and generously brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Remove the packaging from the polenta and cut each tube in half crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 8 wedges. Spread the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil and generously sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the garlic-herb seasoning and a pinch of salt. Bake the wedges, turning once, until golden brown and crispy along the edges, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, capers, sugar, 1/2 cup water and the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic-herb seasoning. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook the sauce until thickened, about 12 minutes more.
- Divide the hot polenta fries among 6 plates. Spoon the hot tomato sauce over the fries. Dollop some ricotta over the sauce. Top with ribbons of fresh basil and sprinkle with lemon zest. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and serve immediately.
Popular Categories for this Recipe
- Fries – French fries (North American English), chips (British English), finger chips (Indian English), French-fried potatoes, or simply fries are batonnet or allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes, originating from either Belgium or France. They are prepared by cutting the potato into even strips, then drying and frying it, usually in a deep fryer. Most french fries are produced from frozen Russet potatoes.French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. They are often salted and may be served with ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine or chili cheese fries. Chips can be made from sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant, oven chips, uses less oil or no oil.
- Polenta Recipes
- Ricotta – Ricotta (pronounced in Italian) is an Italian whey cheese made from sheep, cow, goat, or Italian water buffalo milk whey left over from the production of other cheeses. Like other whey cheeses, it is made by coagulating the proteins that remain after the casein has been used to make cheese, notably albumin and globulin.Ricotta (literally meaning “recooked”, “refined”) protein can be harvested if the whey is first allowed to become more acidic by additional fermentation (by letting it sit for 12–24 hours at room temperature). Then the acidified whey is heated to near boiling. The combination of low pH and high temperature denatures the protein and causes it to flocculate, forming a fine curd. Once cooled, it is separated by passing the liquid through a fine cloth, leaving the curd behind.Ricotta curds are creamy white in appearance, and slightly sweet in taste. The fat content changes depending on the milk used. In this form, it is somewhat similar in texture to some cottage cheese variants, though considerably lighter. It is highly perishable. However, ricotta also is made in aged varieties which are preservable for much longer.
- Appetizer – An hors d’oeuvre (/ɔːr ˈdɜːrv(rə)/ or DURV(-rə); French: hors-d’œuvre (listen)), appetizer or starter is a small dish served before a meal in European cuisine. Some hors d’oeuvres are served cold, others hot. Hors d’oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating, such as at a reception or cocktail party. Formerly, hors d’oeuvres were also served between courses.Typically smaller than a main dish, an hors d’oeuvre is often designed to be eaten by hand.
- Gluten Free – A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a nutritional plan that strictly excludes gluten, which is a mixture of proteins found in wheat (and all of its species and hybrids, such as spelt, kamut, and triticale), as well as barley, rye, and oats. The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial, and may depend on the oat cultivar and the frequent cross-contamination with other gluten-containing cereals.Gluten may cause both gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms for those with gluten-related disorders, including coeliac disease (CD), non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), gluten ataxia, dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), and wheat allergy. In these people, the gluten-free diet is demonstrated as an effective treatment, but several studies show that about 79% of the people with coeliac disease have an incomplete recovery of the small bowel, despite a strict gluten-free diet. This is mainly caused by inadvertent ingestion of gluten. People with a poor understanding of a gluten-free diet often believe that they are strictly following the diet, but are making regular errors.In addition, a gluten-free diet may, in at least some cases, improve gastrointestinal or systemic symptoms in diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or HIV enteropathy, among others. There is no good evidence that gluten-free diets are an alternative medical treatment for people with autism.Gluten proteins have low nutritional and biological value and the grains that contain gluten are not essential in the human diet. However, an unbalanced selection of food and an incorrect choice of gluten-free replacement products may lead to nutritional deficiencies. Replacing flour from wheat or other gluten-containing cereals with gluten-free flours in commercial products may lead to a lower intake of important nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins. Some gluten-free commercial replacement products are not enriched or fortified as their gluten-containing counterparts, and often have greater lipid/carbohydrate content. Children especially often over-consume these products, such as snacks and biscuits. Nutritional complications can be prevented by a correct dietary education.A gluten-free diet may be based on gluten-free foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products, legumes, nuts, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, and corn. Gluten-free processed foods may be used. Pseudocereals (quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat) and some minor cereals are alternative choices.
