Method

Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan until a breadcrumb sizzles.

Drop spoonfuls of cooked polenta into the hot oil and deep-fry until golden.

Remove polenta with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

Heat olive oil, garlic, and spring onions in a separate pan for two minutes.

Add cherry tomatoes, basil, and prosciutto and cook for five minutes.

Stir in mozzarella and spinach until the spinach has wilted.

Serve the polenta on a warmed plate with the sauce poured over.
