You will need a 20 cm x 30 cm lamington pan for this recipe.
Instructions
Grease a 20 cm x 30 cm lamington pan and set aside.
To make yuzu chilli sauce, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
Place stock and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a rapid simmer. Pour in grits in a slow steady stream, whisking until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until thick. Whisk in parmesan until melted and season with salt and pepper. Pour into prepared pan, allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Turn out onto a clean board and cut into 16 thick chips.
Heat oil to 160°C. Dust chips in flour, shaking off excess. Working in batches, cook chips, turning, for 6 minutes or until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with yuzu chilli sauce.
Note
• Instant grits are available online from usafoods.com.au. Substitute instant polenta.
• Yuzu is a Japanese citrus. Yuzu juice is available from Japanese food shops.
