Spicy polenta balls for a fiery appetizer.
Ingredients:
  • 225.00 gm polenta
  • 150.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 15.00 gm creole seasoning
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 fresh jalapeno chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • 345.80 gm buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
  • Fresh jalapeno chilli, sliced, extra, to serve
  • Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, mix polenta, flour, and seasoning. Create a well in the center. In a separate large jug, whisk together onion, egg, jalapeño (if using), and buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
  • Fill a medium saucepan with oil until it reaches 3cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 180C. Drop 8 level tablespoons of batter into the oil. Deep-fry, turning occasionally, for 3 minutes or until golden. Place on a tray lined with paper towel to drain. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Immediately serve the hush puppies topped with extra jalapeno and flat-leaf parsley for added flavor and freshness.
