Fried Polenta Slices

• 1 lb/1/2 kg cornmeal
• 3/4 qt / 3/4 l water
• 3/4 qt / 3/4 l milk
• 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan
• 1 tablespoon butter
• additional butter
• grated parmesan
• sour cream

There are two options here. Either make a rather hard boiled polenta, slice it and then fry the slices in hot oil. Serve with whipped dry beans or peas. Or, make a rather soft polenta with the corn meal and equal quantities of water and milk. Add 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan, 1 tablespoon butter. Mix well. Then pour the polenta on a wet wooden cutting board. When the polenta is cold, cut it in diamonds. Fry in hot butter, sprinkle with parmesan and serve with sour cream and pickled vegetables.
