Basic polenta (see below)
Cooking spray
1 c (4 oz) shredded no-fat swiss
Cheese (totally optional)
Heat a large Dutch oven, non-stick or sprayed with Pam. Add onions
and push around to brown a little. Add a few Tbsp water and stir to
unstick from bottom. Add Chopped Kale or spinach and stir about 5
minutes until all is wilted and onions are translucent. Add more
water as needed to prevent burning.

5 minutes, Add salt, pepper and mashed pumpkin and stir well. Cook
uncovered 3 minutes, stirring well. Remove from heat.
Prepare basic Polenta, spread half in 11x7x2 inch baking dish coated
with non-stick spray. Spread pumpkin mixture evenly over polenta.
Sprinkle with Swiss cheese (optional) Spread remaining polenta
evenly over. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes or until lightly browned..
Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yeild 6 servings.
Basic Polenta:
1 1/4 cups cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 cups water
1. Place cornmeal and salt in large saucepan. Gradually add water,
stirring constantly with a wire wisk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to
medium, cook uncovered 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Yeild 4 cups.
2. Microwave method: Place cornmeal and salt in a 3 quart microwave
cassarole. Gradually add water, stirring until blended. Cover,
microwave on HIGH 12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. Let stand
covered 5 minutes.
I made this two times, the first time I couldn't find kale in the
particular grocery store that I went to so I used spinach. I used the
microwave method for polenta since I tend to scorch things and it
worked great. The first 2 times I stirred I wasn't sure it was going
to thicken by the time it finished it was perfect and it sure is easy
to just set the timer for 3 minutes and stir when it beeps. The
non-fat cheese is totally optional, in fact I shredded it then forgot
to put it in the first time . In is fine without cheese, but the
cheese tasted good on the microwaved leftovers too. (The only edible
non-fat cheese I've found is called Lifetime brand and they don't
sell it in every store here). The effect is rather like lasagna but
different.
