Description

This delicious meal comes together quickly, is packed with nutrients, and sure to please vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Serve with thyme-roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic bread.

Ingredients

  • ½ whole Large White Onion
  • 8 ounces, weight Baby Bella Mushrooms, Sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • ½ cups Polenta
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) White Beans, Such As Cannelini, Great Northern Or Garbanzos
  • 12 ounces, weight Greens, Such As Kale, Swiss Chard Or Mustard Greens
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • ⅓ cups Parmesan Cheese
  • ⅓ cups Asiago, Romano, Or Fontina Cheese

Preparation

1. Slice onion and mushroom; mince garlic. Place a pot with the chicken stock on high heat and bring to a boil. Add in your polenta and whisk thoroughly. Reduce heat to medium and let sit, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes.

2. Preheat saute pan to medium. Add in extra virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Cook until garlic just turns golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add in mushrooms and onions, cook until soft- 5-7 minutes. Add in the white beans (WITH the liquid), and your greens. Stir until greens wilt, about 3 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, stir in butter and cheeses to the polenta. Season with salt and pepper. Serve braised greens and beans over polenta. Top with more fresh grated asiago or parmesan.

This was a surprise hit at our house! We’d never cooked with or eaten polenta before and all I could find was a roll of it (I believe that would be considered ready-made?), once I adjusted for that, all was fine. Substituted pinto beans. Served with sauteed cherry tomatoes with onion, garlic, and whatever seasoning we felt like. The combination of all the flavors–the creamy, cheesy polenta, the greens, beans, and tomatoes–is amazing! Actually getting ready to start my beans to make this dish again tonight. =)

I substituted black-eyed peas, and it was great that way too!
