I was just about to cook ‘Pan Fried Zucchini’. Then I saw a bag of Polenta (Cornmeal), which I need to use up soon. I instantly thought about my ‘Fried Okra’ recipe. I cooked Zucchini in the same method. The grainy coating with Polenta and crunchy Zucchini are a good match. Next time I will double the recipe and cook more.
