ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 1 diced garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 300 grams baby spinach
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 stock cube
  • 1 cup instant polenta
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup parmesan

Method

  • Step 1

    In a medium pot, melt the ghee and add the garlic. Simmer for 30 seconds (no longer because you don’t want the garlic to burn) before adding the baby spinach. Cook until just wilted. Remove from the pot and set aside in a small bowl.

  • Step 2

    Bring the water and stock cube to a boil. Using a whisk, gradually pour in the polenta and continue stirring for 5-6 minutes or until thick on a medium low heat.

  • Step 3

    Add the spinach mixture, salt, cream or milk and cheese. Mix well until combined. Serve hot alongside grilled prawns, stews or with roasted veg.
