Creamy polenta topped with braised silverbeet and toasted pine nuts: A delightful side dish!
Ingredients:
  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch silverbeet, stems removed and discarded, leaves roughly chopped
  • 765.00 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 128.75 gm milk
  • 150.00 gm polenta
  • 250.00 ml finely grated parmesan, plus extra to serve
  • 40.00 ml pine nuts, toasted
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat, warm oil. Saute onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add silverbeet and 1/2 cup stock, and cook until silverbeet has wilted, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining stock, milk, and 1 cup of water in a large saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Slowly pour in the polenta while stirring continuously until well combined. Cook and stir for 8 to 10 minutes until the polenta becomes smooth and thick. Remove from heat, add Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Scoop the polenta into a serving dish. Spoon the silverbeet mixture on top. Sprinkle with pine nuts and extra parmesan. Accompany with lemon wedges.
