Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and boil the kettle. In a bowl, mix the garlic and tomatoes with seasoning, then pour into a large baking dish. Place the spinach in a large colander and pour boiling water over until wilted. Rinse in cold water and squeeze out all the excess water you can with your hands. Roughly chop, season, and scatter on top of the tomatoes.

  • step 2

    Slice the polenta, then overlap on top of the spinach. Drizzle with the oil and bake in the oven for 10-15 mins. Scatter over the cheese and return to the oven for 5 mins more, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

RECIPE TIPS
CAN'T GET HOLD OF READY-MADE POLENTA?

Just make up a 500g pack regular polenta following pack instructions, then pour into a baking tray (approx 21 x 29cm size) lined with baking parchment. When firm enough, slice and use as in the recipe.

Really nice side we had with steak. It was for 2 so halved the polenta and tomatoes. Sautéed the garlic and onion with tomatoes and reduced a bit. Didn't bother with the spinach as had none in.

Made this recipe this evening. I quite enjoyed it, although I do have some suggestions... The recommendation with the garlic should be to cook it first either in a pan or in the sauce- or at least mince it as it overpowered the dish. It's a good thing I like garlic! The tomatoes were still quite…

Made it today, adding more cheese on top (I am a cheese person;)). It was delicious and very easy to make. I'll try adding some "proteins" next time!
