The Good Bit
- Bring your water to the boil then add in 2 teaspoons of salt, pour in your polenta in a steady stream stiring all the time, reduce the heat and keep stirring, after 5 minutes or so you should be able to stand your spoon in the mixture.
- Once at this point, remove from the heat, stir in your chilli and a good seasoning of salt and pepper and then pour into your baking tray until you have a thickness of about 4 cm, now you want to allow this to cool.
- Whilst you are waiting mix together your sour cream and parsely and place in the fridge, Now you want to cut your polenta into chip size pieces and fry them in a little oil on each side until crispy and golden (3-4 Minutes), then drain on kitchen paper and serve.
