Powerhouse Eggplant Polenta

Powerhouse Eggplant Polenta

with Zucchini and Walnut Salsa

If vegetables had personalities, eggplant would be something of a bossy, brash, and biting figure, no doubt. But when treated right, it’s incredibly tender and giving. Which is why we’re roasting it with just a dash of Mediterranean spices and herbs so that its best features can really shine, then drizzling it with a basil walnut salsa that adds plenty of herby oomph.

Instructions

Chop Walnuts
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high. Roughly chop leaves. Roughly chop walnuts.

Make Walnut Salsa
2

In a small bowl, combine walnuts and half the Parmesan. Stir in 2 TBSP olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Prep Veggies
3

Cut eggplant into ½-inch cubes. Cut zucchini into 2-inch lengths, then cut each piece into thin wedges.

Roast Veggies
4

Toss eggplant and zucchini on baking sheet with a pinch of salt, a drizzle of olive oil and Tuscan heat spice (to taste—it’s spicy). Broil until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Cook Polenta
5

Strip thyme leaves from stems; discard stems. Place thyme leaves, stock concentrate, milk, 1 cup water and 2 TBSP butter in a medium pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Stir in polenta. Cook, stirring constantly, until polenta is thick and oozy, 5-7 minutes. Stir in remaining Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper

Plate and Serve
6

Divide polenta between plates. Top with veggies and drizzle with walnut salsa.
