Author Notes
This is a perfect winter evening's dish, comforting but clean. The tang of the goat yogurt pairs wonderfully with the creamy beans and sweet tomatoes, which provide the vitamin C needed to absorb the iron from the kale.
It comes together quite quickly, so it's perfect for a weeknight meal for one . Double or triple it for a simple but impressive weekend dinner. It's a great way to get your kale on, count on one bunch per person... —Téo L. Blackburn

-
2 tablespoons

4-5
gloves garlic, minced

1.5 cups
cooked cannellini beans, or 1 can drained

dried oregano

Directions
-
Make polenta. Bring broth to a simmer and add polenta in fine stream, whisking continuously until thick. Cover and cook polenta on low heat, whisking frequently, until cooked through (about 25-30 minutes). Whisk in goat yogurt and cheese. Season to taste and keep warm.
-
In large skillet, sauté onions on low heat until translucent. And minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add cannellini beans and butter to the skillet and cook for 5 mins, until the beans begin to crackle. Add tomatoes and oregano and simmer over medium-low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated.
-
When ready to serve, add the kale to the skillet and toss. Cook until the kale is just warmed through and plate, topping polenta with kale mixture. Eat joyfully!
