* Exported from MasterCook * Polenta with Garlicky Greens Recipe By : The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook, Jack Bishop
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 2-8 August '99 Grains
Spinach Vegetarian Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 cups medium-grind cornmeal
salt
1 1/2 pounds chard
--preferably with red veins
1 1/2 pounds flat-leaf spinach
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions -- thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic -- slivered
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter Cook the cornmeal in 8 cups simmering water with 2 teaspoons salt added as
described in Steps 1 and 2 on page 181. While polenta is cooking, remove and discard the stems from the chard and
spinach. Tear off the green portions from either side of the rib that runs
down the center of each chard leaf. Discard the ribs. Tear any large chard
and spinach leaves in half. Wash the leaves in successive bowls of cold
water until grit no longer appears in the bottom of the bowl. Shakes the
leaves to remove excess water but do not dry them. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and saute over medium heat
until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until golden,
about 2 minutes. Add the greens to the pan. Stir to coat the leaves with the oil. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until the
greens are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the cover and simmer until some
of the liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. The greens should be moist but not
swimming in liquid. When the polenta has finished cooking, stir in the butter and add more salt
if needed. Divide the polenta among large individual bowls. Spoon some of
the greens over each portion. Serve immediately. Posted on FareShare 8-99 by Lyn Hillman <lhillman@na.ko.com> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Serving Ideas : Sauteed Mushrooms
