More meat-resembling food from us!
Just shaping things into cutlets gives them a different vibe. They transform any veggie, bean or grain into a main dish, worthy of adding additional vegetable sides to them, just like most of America does. Except generally the main dish is a burger and the “vegetable” is fries or onion rings. These cutlets go great with any tomato sauce or past-get creative!
I got the idea for these from JL Goes Vegan..someone I’ve connected with on Facebook and Twitter 🙂
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup chopped collard greens
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups coconut milk, divided
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2-1 cup breadrcumbs
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
- In a saucepan, cook onions and oil over medium heat for 5 minutes
- Add kale and collard greens and stir continuously for 10 minutes
- Add milk, vegetable broth, salt and pepper, whisk together, and bring to a boil
- Reduce to low heat, and add cornmeal, 1/2 cup at time and whisk continuously so there are no lumps
- Stir for about 15 minutes until thick and creamy
- Transfer polenta mix to a greased 13 9 baking pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- After 30 minutes, cut polenta into triangles
- Dredge through coconut milk, then dip into breadcrumbs
- Place on greased baking and cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes
- Flip over and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown on both sides
