I like this preparation of polenta, but may experiment with sandwiching different things in the polenta layers, like possibly a sun-dried tomato concoction or sauteed mushrooms or maybe spinach (or another green without the wine.)<br \/>\nThe greens looked gorgeous as they were cooking (beautiful color!)<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_7831.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_7831.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/span><br \/>\nOnions and garlic with beet and chard stems.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_7832.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_7832.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/span><br \/>\nAdding the greens.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_7836.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_7836.JPG\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/span><br \/>\nThe greens, pretty much fully cooked.
