Ingredients:

Serving

1 prepared polenta ( log)
1 bunch red swiss chard (baby spinach best) or 1 bunch fresh spinach ( baby spinach best)
1 -4 tbsp olive oil
4 minced garlic cloves (fresh or jarred )
1 onion
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
2 tbsp pine nuts
1 tbsp lemon juice
parmesan cheese
fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Prepare greens by rinsing well in water. If using chard, separate stems and leaves and chop stems into ~ 1 inch pieces, leaves can be torn or chopped. If using baby spinach, just chop off bottom to separate leaves.
Chop onion into thin slices or mince.
Cut polenta into 1/4-1/2 inch slices.
In one frying pan with ~1 T oil over medium heat, fry onion, chard stems if using chard, and garlic. After a few minutes, add 1/4 cup water and cover to partially soften stems by steaming.
Remove cover and add chard leaves (or spinach), cranberries, and pine nuts. Cook until greens reach desired consistency (tender-crisp to soft). Add lemon juice.
Meanwhile, in second frying pan, fry polenta slices in 1 teaspoons to 3 T olive oil (depending on how crispy or healthy you want it) until browned.
Top polenta with greens and parmesan cheese and pepper to taste.
