Saute spinach and beans is nice and easy for a week night meal.
If you can't be bothered with the constant stirring required for the polenta you could serve the spinach on some toast like bruschetta or on a potato or celeriac mash.
Ingredients
1 bunch spinach
4 cloves roasted garlic
1tsp cumin
1tsp paprika
1pinch ground lemon Myrtle
1 can cannellini beans
4 tbs Avjar
1/3c roasted capsicum strips
olive oil
2tbs water
chopped herbs of choice
1c polenta
4c water or stock
2c milk
1c grated cheese
(warning !!!!polenta makes a nice mess of your pots..a skin will form on the bottom. soaking with cold water overnight will make the cleaning job much easier)
method
Wash and chop spinach into large pieces
in a pot put the 3 soft cloves of garlic and the olive oil and stir to smoosh the garlic
add the spinach and cover with a lid for a few minutes.
take off lid and stir the spinach until wilted
add spices, stir
add drained tinned cannellini beans, stir
add Avjar, stir
add capsicum last and stir gently
Put aside, ready to warm gently when polenta is almost ready.
Boil water
Add polenta in a steady stream while whisking
whisk constantly for 3 minutes until the polenta has become thick
stir rapidly constantly with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes until the polenta is thick and smooth
add the milk and stir for another 5 minutes
add the cheese and stir for another 5 minutes
serve garnished with fresh herbs
enjoy :)
