Polenta with Spinach Recipe

  • 2 packages frozen spinach
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  1. Cut the frozen blocks of spinach into small pieces and place in a heavy skillet without water. Cover the pan and heat the spinach just until it is thoroughly thawed. Drain and chop very fine. Blend the chopped spinach with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Oil an oval or square baking dish and put the spinach in the bottom. Top with polenta, dot with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 375°F. oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the polenta is delicately brown. Serve as an accompaniment to beef, veal or pork dishes.
