Lunch for One

I love the days when I actually take a few minutes to make myself a good lunch, especially one that comes, in part, from my garden.

Polenta with Swiss Chard and Egg

Prepare one serving of polenta*, salting to taste

While polenta cooks, wash, chop and quickly fry a big handful of swiss chard over high heat. (Don't overcook the chard, you just want it to wilt and soften a bit).

Pour hot polenta onto your plate, top with swiss chard.

Fry an egg to your liking (I like over-easy), salt and pepper to taste, and add to the polenta and chard.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or any herb you like.

Enjoy!

Mmm, that looks so good and making me hungry for lunch at 10:30 in the morning!

I have never tried anything like that....I think I will give it a whirl.
Thanks

Had Swish Chard for the first time last week and I am in love with it... thanks for the new recipe.

Okay, I'll try it this way. Cooking certainly improves the flavor of kale (steamed for 4-6 minutes, lightly drizzled with Tamari soy = YUM), so my hopes are high. Thanks for the recipe!

I feel a little bit like you are teasing us like when they show a commercial on TV and the food looks much better than what they actually serve, lol! If what I prepare ends up looking like what you have in that photo, bon apetit!
