I love polenta, and when I cook it, I always make an extra portion so I can recycle it the next day. This time I had leftover Polenta Taragna with Taleggio, and the next day I cut thin strips and put them under the grill to make crispy and delicious Polenta Taragna Chips. Great to serve with an aperitif or for appetizers.
