This Week’s Sunday Supper Recipes:
With the first week of 2013 almost behind us, reflection is starting to wane and focus for 2013 is starting to settle. At least that’s the case for me. There is so much in 2012 that’s worth looking back for and so much I’m glad to walk away from. 2013 will be amazing. As I’m getting older, I find myself thinking more and more about making a ‘bucket list’. I’ve never had an official bucket list, per se, but I definitely have a few things I know I want to do at some point in my life. Swim with dolphins, travel outside of the US (I’ve always wanted to see the Blue Footed Booby in person) and have a house in the country. Those are the first three things that come to mind. This week’s #SundaySupper is all about our bucket lists, but more specifically, our culinary bucket lists. There aren’t too many things I’ve wanted to do that I haven’t. Very little intimidates me in the kitchen. Usually, when I avoid a particular task, it’s strictly a matter of laziness. There are a few exceptions… Cooking a live lobster Making macaroons Deep Fried Grits Today, I am able to cross the grits off the list. Back in September of 2011, we were at our favorite vacation restaurant and I decided to order something different. To my utter delight, the gumbo I ordered was served with these triangle shaped deep fried grits. Now, I’m a Southern girl, so I love my grits, but Oh M Gee. These absolutely knocked my socks off. How in the heck did they deep fry grits?!? I’ve been wanting to try it ever since. I finally worked up the nerve, jumped in head first and they came out amazingly awesome! I added a spicy tomato relish for texture and a nice flavor contrast to the polenta. I hope to make a delicious gumbo of my own to serve over top of these one day. Make your own culinary bucket list! What will you put on it? Enjoy the recipes, then get in the kitchen and do something that challenges you!
Recipe
Deep Fried Polenta
Recipe type: Side
Cuisine: Southern
Author: Jamie Rippy
Serves: 4
To Be Done Ahead of Time:
Cook polenta according to package directions. Cool slightly and then pour into an 8 x 8 pan lined with wax paper. Cover and move to the refrigerator to cool completely. (This can be done the day before)
Minutes Before Frying:
Turn the completely cooled polenta out onto a cutting board. Cut into 8 squares or triangles. Place the polenta pieces, on the cutting board, into the freezer. Allow to stay in the freezer about 30 minutes, just long enough for the outside to firm up and allow for easy handling.
Minutes Before Frying:
Begin heating oil in a medium/medium-large deep sided skillet over medium-high heat. You want at least and inch of oil. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Add the paprika, salt, and peppers to the eggs. Mix well. Once the oil is hot, remove the polenta from the freezer. Taking one piece of polenta at a time, dip the polenta into the egg mixture and coat completely. Dredge the egg coated polenta in the panko and carefully place the polenta into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Continue adding polenta to the pan, but be careful not to crowd the pan. You should have no more than 2-3 pieces in the pan at any given time. Each piece should be nice and brown on the bottom side within 2-3 minutes. Flip and allow the other side to cook to a golden brown. Once both sides have cooked, remove the polenta and place it on paper towels to drain.
