Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • Parmesan Polenta
  • 2 18oz. rolls of Organic Polenta or prepared equivalent
  • 2 C water
  • 4 T vegan parmesan cheese (optional - you can omit cheese or use vegan mozzarella if you prefer)
  • 1 T vegan margarine
  • Roasted Tomatoes
  • 2 pints Cherry Tomatoes (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tsp. coarsely ground Celtic Salt, Sea salt or Pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 T Olive Oil
  • Greens and Beans
  • 2 Bunches of green or purple kale, clean and separate leaves from stems
  • 4 t minced garlic
  • 1 t pink salt (to taste)
  • ½ T Olive Oil
  • 2 C water
  • 1 can Cannellini Beans, drained
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425*. Put cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet (with edges), and coat evenly with 1 T Olive Oil. Sprinkle with the coarse salt. Bake for 35 minutes. If you prefer more browning, turn the heat up to 450* for the last 10 minutes or so.
  2. While the tomatoes are baking, crumble the polenta into a medium sized sauce pan, and add water and margarine. Begin heating over a medium flame. As polenta begins to soften break up any large pieces with a fork. When polenta is softened, add the parmesan cheese and stir. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. When done, cover and set aside.
  3. Greens and Beans -
  4. In a large skillet (with lid) or a large pot, heat garlic in 1 T olive oil, for two minutes, over a medium heat. Do not brown. Add kale, salt, and water. Stir. Cover with lid and as kale begins to wilt, add beans and stir occasionally, tossing kale and beans with the garlic. Replace lid between stirring. Cook for about 10 minutes, until kale is wilted, but still has some crunch. Kale should still have vibrant color.
  5. Assemble the bowls -
  6. Add polenta, then greens and beans, top with roasted tomatoes and a little more parmesan if desired.
  7. Store leftovers in fridge for up to 3 days.
