Directions

  1. Place the cheese sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until completely smooth. Set aside. Sauté the onions and portabellas in a non-stick skillet until the mushrooms begin to exude their juices.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for one more minute.
  3. Add the kale, basil, and 1/4 cup water. Sauté until the kale is wilted and tender and the water has evaporated.
  4. Add the cheese sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Remove from the heat.
  6. Cut the polenta into 1/4-inch thick slices. Line the bottom of the baking dish with half of the slices, overlapping slightly if possible.
  7. Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce over the polenta, and then spread the kale mixture over the sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped olives over the kale and top with the remaining polenta.
  9. Spread the remaining marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with soy parmesan.
  10. Bake for 25 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 or 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings—if you can resist eating the whole pan yourself!
