Advice

For a better flavor, you can mix grated cheese (e.g., parmesan) into the polenta or add chopped herbs (e.g., rosemary, basil). You can also cook the polenta in salted water. Fry in a large amount of fat. The food should float in it. For frying, use fats that do not contain water, such as coconut oil or good quality oil. The fat for frying is hot enough when small bubbles form around a wooden spoon handle.
