Polenta Fries with “Chunky Gypsy” Ketchup

Almost guilt-free comfort food/snack for grown-ups – seasoned polenta fries, dipped in Gypsy or Zigeuner sauce. You may have heard of Zigeunerschnitzel – the German (original :)) version of country fried steak with a spicy tomato-based sauce that has everything but the kitchen sink. At least the version of Gypsy sauce I have tried – chunks of tomatoes, celery, carrots, paprika  (some add peppers) and … pickles. The pickles sweeten it, so it becomes the perfect substitute for ketchup. I see tons of Zigeunerschnitzel variations in the foodie blogosphere, and the bottom line is that this sauce goes pretty well with fried stuff.
