## Ingredients

- 250 g [Polenta (cornmeal)](https://fridge.menu/en/i/cornmeal)
- 1 l [Water](https://fridge.menu/en/i/water)
- 1 pinch [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt)
- 4 tbsp [Olive oil](https://fridge.menu/en/i/olive-oil) — about 1 tbsp for greasing the tin
- 3 pcs [Rosemary](https://fridge.menu/en/i/rosemary) — fresh sprigs
- 3 tbsp [Parmesan](https://fridge.menu/en/i/parmesan) — finely grated
- 1 pinch [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt) — to taste
- 1 pinch [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground

### Herby dip

- 100 ml [Crème fraîche](https://fridge.menu/en/i/creme-fraiche) — 18%
- 2 tbsp [Mayonnaise](https://fridge.menu/en/i/mayonnaise)
- 1 tbsp [Parmesan](https://fridge.menu/en/i/parmesan) — finely grated
- 1 tbsp [Rosemary](https://fridge.menu/en/i/rosemary) — finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tsp [Apple cider vinegar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/apple-cider-vinegar)
- 1 pinch [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt) — to taste
- 1 pinch [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground

## Steps

1. Bring the water to the boil, reduce the heat and pour in the polenta, stirring constantly. Stir thoroughly so no lumps form.
2. Let the polenta simmer, covered, for 30–45 minutes, stirring regularly and adding a little more water if needed.
3. Grease a tin with a little olive oil and spread the polenta in it. Press down firmly to form an even layer, then cover with baking paper.
4. Chill in the fridge for at least a few hours, or ideally overnight.
5. Turn the polenta out of the tin and cut into thin chips. The polenta will be firm and slightly rubbery, which makes it easy to work with.
6. Toss the chips with oil, salt and pepper and bake the polenta chips in the oven at 225°C fan for 30 minutes, turning them roughly halfway through baking.
7. Before serving, sprinkle with finely grated fresh Parmesan and finely chopped rosemary, and season with salt to taste.
8. For the dip, mix the crème fraîche and mayonnaise with the Parmesan and rosemary, and season to taste with salt, pepper and apple cider vinegar.
