Polenta Cutouts
Making Polenta Cutouts is a fun way to get to use those cookie cutters in your drawers that don’t get enough love. Creating fun shapes using the polenta is a great way to introduce your kids to a new food they might not have tried before! The recipe is really easy, and it’s perfect because you can keep the sheet of polenta in the fridge after you make it and cut them up whenever you want some.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Line a sheet tray with foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Step 2
Bring 7 cups of water and salt to a boil.
- Step 3
Add polenta in a slow stream while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Step 4
Turn heat to low and continue to stir with a wooden spoon until polenta thickens, 5-8 minutes (you may add more boiling water as needed to keep the polenta a smooth consistency).
- Step 5
Turn the heat off and add parmesan and butter. Stir to combine.
- Step 6
Pour onto a sheet tray and spread with the back of a spoon to cover the tray evenly. Cool.
- Step 7
Refrigerate the polenta for 30 minutes or covered up to 2 days.
- Step 8
Remove the sheet tray from the refrigerator and use cookie cutters to stamp out shapes.
- Step 9
Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a saute pan over medium heat and cook the polenta shapes for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden (you can also serve these cold).
- Step 10
Eat polenta shapes on their own or serve with a red sauce.
