Categories     Garlic     Olive Oil     Kale     Vinegar     Parmesan     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Vegetarian

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups still-warm Big-Batch Parmesan Polenta
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 (14.5-oz.) can white beans, rinsed
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 bunch curly or Tuscan kale or escarole, tough ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1 Tbsp. white or red wine vinegar
¼ tsp. kosher salt
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Pour warm polenta into a large ovenproof skillet or a ceramic baking dish or metal baking pan and spread into an even layer (ideally about 1" thick). Let cool, then cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Heat garlic and ¼ cup oil in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add beans and red pepper flakes (if using), then, working in batches, add kale, letting it wilt slightly after each addition before adding more, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and evenly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt and cook, still stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup Parmesan.
  • Scrape kale mixture over prepared polenta and spread into an even layer. Drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with more Parmesan.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and bake until polenta is warmed through and topping is lightly crisped and browned, 8-10 minutes.

POLENTA WITH GREEN BEANS



Polenta with Green Beans image

This is a different and tasty side dish with an Italian flare, thanks to the cooked polenta. Coarsely-ground cornmeal is sometimes labelled "polenta", a little shopping hint if you have trouble finding it at your supermarket. An Italian market will have it if you strike out at your regular grocery story.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
