Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings as main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cloves garlic, peeled
Canola oil for greasing pan
4 plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
6 sage leaves, chopped
1 cup chicken or beef stock
1 15 1/2-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup instant polenta

Steps:

  • To make the beans, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the garlic. When water boils add garlic and cook one minute. Drain and repeat this procedure three times -- it will eliminate the harshness and leave the flavor. Mash the garlic with garlic press; set aside.
  • Lightly oil a roasting pan and place tomatoes in pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice is released and skins have puckered. When tomatoes are ready, peel and add to pot large enough to hold all the ingredients for the beans.
  • Add the garlic, sage, stock and beans. Simmer until mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt if desired and pepper.
  • To make the polenta meanwhile, boil water in small pot with the butter, milk and salt.
  • When water boils, reduce heat slightly and slowly whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to very low and cook the polenta 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • To serve, spoon polenta into a shallow bowl or plate and spoon bean sauce over top.

This dish was a lot of work and the results were not worth it. The polenta was bland and the roasted tomatoes were dry.

I followed the recipe exactly but the polenta turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and maybe some herbs.
