Ingredients

Polenta

  • ½ cup dry cornmeal
  • 1 and ½ cups water
  • Pinch of salt

Tomatoes

  • 2-3 pounds tomatoes I used heirloom
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Greens

  • 3-4 cups mixed baby kale and baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 425F (220C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Dice the tomatoes into 1 inch or so cubes (or cut in half if using smaller cherry tomatoes). Add the baking sheet, then drizzle with 1 Tablespoon oil and black pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are shriveled and start to dry out. Remove and let cool, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Bring the water to a boil in a small pot with the pinch of salt. Add in the cornmeal, then cook for about 5 minutes until mixture becomes creamy. Stir consistently so it doesn't stick to the pan. Set a side and let cool slightly.
  • Heat a small pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon avocado oil and the garlic. Sautee the garlic until fragrant, then add in the greens and cook until wilted.
  • Finally, bring the bowl together! Put the polenta on the bottom, then top with the wilted greens and a scoop of the roasted tomatoes. Add a pat of Earth Balance on top for an extra creamy touch.
