Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 pound sliced button mushrooms
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch kale (about 3/4 pound), stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 1 (18-ounce) roll precooked polenta, cut into 8 rounds
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Stir in kale and 1/4 cup water, cover, reduce heat to medium low and cook until kale begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Toss well, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes more. Cover and set aside.

  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Arrange polenta in skillet in a single layer (working in batches, if needed) and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer polenta to a paper towel-lined plate as done.

  3. Arrange polenta on plates, spoon kale and mushroom mixture over the top, garnish with cheese and serve.
