Polenta fries topped with fried egg

I first got into polenta when we lived in Buenos Aires. Before this I’d never heard of it and as far as I know it’s not very popular in the UK. Gluten free breakfast cereal was nowhere to be found in Argentina so I had to make do with something else for my favourite meal of the day. When I came across polenta in the supermarket I wasn’t too sure what it was but when John told me that it’s basically cornmeal I figured I could prepare it with milk, fruit and cinnamon like a kind of porridge. It was delicious and I ate it almost every morning for breakfast, including at 4am on the day of my first marathon.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with more savoury dishes which involve polenta, one of these being delicious spicy sausage polenta. Last week I was pretty excited when John said he was making polenta fries topped with fried egg for dinner!
