  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Polenta:
2cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2cups 2 percent reduced-fat milk
1cup polenta or yellow stone-ground cornmeal
1/2cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1tablespoon butter
1/2teaspoon salt
Greens:
1cup Roasted Garlic
1pound spinach leaves, whole
1/2pound bok choy or fennel, roughly chopped
1/2teaspoon salt
-- Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. To prepare polenta, place broth and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add polenta, whisking to prevent clumping. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed and polenta is creamy and thoroughly cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add cheese, butter and salt, stirring gently until incorporated.
  3. To prepare the greens, using a slotted spoon, scoop one cup of Roasted Garlic into a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy and saute 3 minutes. Add spinach and sauté 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Serve over polenta.
