Polenta Skillet with Fresh Greens
Polenta Skillet with Fresh Greens
Ingredients
- 500 g ready-made polenta
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 450 g seitan (wheat gluten, cut into bite-sized pieces or strips)
- 4 large or 6 medium stalks bok choy with leaves (sliced crosswise)
- 140 g fresh baby spinach
- 4 spring onions (green and white parts, sliced)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or more to taste)
- ¼ cup 60g sliced oil-cured sun-dried tomatoes, optional
- Salt and ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the polenta 1 centimetre thick. Cut each slice into 4 little wedges.
- Heat a wide nonstick skillet. Add a drop of the oil and spread it around with a paper towel to create a very light coat, or use cooking oil spray. Add the polenta wedges; cook in a single layer over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side.
- Remove the polenta to a plate. Heat the oil and soy sauce slowly in the same skillet. Before they get too hot, add the seitan and stir well. Raise the heat to medium-high and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir in the bok choy, spinach and scallions, then cover and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in vinegar to taste. Gently fold in the polenta wedges and dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
