Preparation time: 1 hour - 1 hour 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 100 g of corn grits (polenta, cornmeal)
• 150 ml of water
• 1 tablespoon of oil
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 40 g finely grated parmesan cheese (hard, mature cheese: pecorino cheese, emmentaler cheese, cheddar cheese)
• olive oil (for sprinkling snacks) or vegan dry parmesan cheese

Preparation: 

1. Heat water, oil and salt in a saucepan until boiling.

2. Reduce the heat to low (2 out of 6) and gradually add the cornmeal while stirring constantly.

3. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly so that the cornmeal does not stick to the bottom of the pan and lumps form.

4. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes until it is lukewarm enough to put it in a pastry bag.

5. Place the mixture in a pastry bag with a diameter opening of about 8-10 mm, so that the mixture can be squeezed out easily.

6. Press out small sticks, about 3-4 cm long, on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 25–35 minutes, until they become dry and crispy.

8. While they are still hot, lightly spray them with oil and sprinkle with finely grated cheese.

9. Return to the oven for another 3–5 minutes.

Note:

For lean and vegan versions, use vegan dry parmesan cheese.
