Categories     main-dish

Time 2h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 recipe quick polenta, firmed up, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
12 ounces baby spinach
Coarse salt
10 ounces Black Forest ham, soprasata, or coppacola
8 ounces gouda or fontina cheese, cut into thick slices
1 (15 1/2 ounce) jar marinara sauce
2 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned or homemade
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup quick-cooking polenta
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position a rack about 6-inches from the broiler and preheat to high. Cut the polenta into 8 squares and transfer to a sheet pan. Pat dry with a paper towel and lightly brush with olive oil. Broil until tops are browned, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from oven.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes, stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Put the spinach in the pan and season with salt, cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Reserve pan.
  • Divide the wilted spinach among each polenta square. Divide slices of the meat on top of the spinach and top each square with the cheese. Place under the broiler until cheese melts and just begins to brown, another 4 minutes.
  • Heat the sauce in the skillet used for the spinach. Ladle some sauce onto each of 4 plates. Place 2 polenta cakes in the middle of each plate and serve.
  • Put the broth and milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta, reduce the heat to low, and cook, whisking occasionally, until the polenta is thick and creamy, about 15 minutes.
  • Pull the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Pour into a baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

POLENTA TORTE



Polenta Torte image

This is my favorite. To serve, spoon directly from the soufflé dish or for a spectacular presentation, bake in an 8 inch spring-form pan and unmold. Experiment with a variety of different greens. If frozen kale is unavailable, use all frozen spinach. Serve with grilled or roasted meats, or with a whole grain bread for lunch. A glass of Italian red wine would be a nice addition.

CHEESY HAM, SPINACH AND POLENTA TORTE



Cheesy Ham, Spinach and Polenta Torte image

So easy and so elegant. One night a friend asked if I wanted to go out for dinner and I said, "of course, but instead, why don't I cook." Work got hectic, and next thing I know - I had no time left to cook. I did I quick search through an old Southern Living magazine and found this dish. It had most of things I already had so this was the result. Now I make it in a spring form pan, but you can also just use a casserole or souffle dish. I serve this for dinner parties all the time. A few appetizers, a fresh salad with artichokes, tomatoes, olives and mushrooms, and of course your favorite dessert. Changing up your cheese is also a great way for a new taste. Fontina or Swiss for the Mozzarella, or you can use Romano or Pecorino for a little sharper taste. This also makes a great late breakfast, brunch, lunch, light dinner or even just a side dish.

Time 1h

Yield 8 Slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
5 cups water
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 lb smoked ham (I use leftovers or just go to your deli and get a couple of slices)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 medium onion (fine chopped)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Filling -- In a large sauce pan on medium high heat, add the olive oil, onion, garlic and saute a couple of minutes until tender. Add in the spinach, ham, pepper, salt (but go easy, ham is salty) and cook about 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined.
  • Polenta -- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the remaining cup to the corn meal and mix well. Then slowly add the corn meal mix into the boiling water and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes stiring all the time until thick and creamy. Remove from the heat.
  • Casserole -- Heat your oven to 400 and make sure you butter, not oil your casserole dish well. Now if you are using a spring form pan, line with aluminum foil and then butter the foil.
  • Spread 1/3 of the polenta in the dish or pan and then cover with 1/2 of the spinach mixture. Top that with 1/2 of the parmesan and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Next layer -- 1/3 more polenta, then the remaining spinach, then the remaining parmesan and 1/3 more of the mozzarella. Finish off with the last 1/3 of the polenta and the rest of the mozzarella.
  • Bake -- 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Make sure you let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • If using a spring form, just remove the sides, but a casserole dish works just as well. This can be a side dish or easily a main dish.
