Grilled Polenta & Greens

This meal is quick and delicious. Perfect for those nights where you don't have a lot of time to make a fancy dish.


What you will need:
6 cups fresh greens (kale, spinach, collard, mustard - whatever you have)
1/4 cup vegetable stock
1 tube of polenta
2 tbsp olive oil
garlic powder, sea salt & pepper to taste

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Slice polenta into 3/4" rounds and sprinkle both sides with garlic powder and pepper. Place flat into skillet. Cook for 5-10 minutes depending on how crispy you want it. Flip each disc to cook other side.

2. Heat vegetable stock in a large wok. Once stock is bubbling, add fresh greens a dash of sea salt & pepper. Toss continuously until green have cooked down.

3. Pile greens onto plate and place 3-4 slices on polenta on top.

Mini Polenta Pizzas

I love polenta and I love pizza so I figured I would combine the two and see what happened. The result was magical. Like, Neil Patrick Harris and The Magic Castle magical.
Great to serve as an appetizer or pair it with a large side of sauteed greens for a delicious meal!

What you will need:
1 package polenta
Olive Oil (try an infused oil for more flavor!)
1 jar tomato sauce
Daiya Mozzarella Cheese Shreds
Italian Seasoning
Ground Pepper


1. Line a cookie sheet with foil and preheat oven to 400°. Slice polenta into 1/8-1/4" rounds and place in a single layer on the sheet.


2. Drizzle olive oil on each piece and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and switch it over to broil.


3. Spoon tomato sauce onto each round, follow with a sprinkle of Daiya and then spices to taste.


4. Place under the broiler and cook for about 5 minutes or until Daiya is melty and bubbling. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minute before eating.
