Polenta with Kale and Marinara

I've always tried it in restaurants and loved it but hadn't tried it at home.  Just recently I started buying Trader Joe's Organic Polenta. I've been using it with a kale, marinara and Italian Tofurky sausage and it comes out so good!

Here's my version:

Dice and saute onions then add Tofurky Italian sausage with coconut oil.

While that is browning cut and wash kale.

Set onions and sausage aside. Cut polenta and place in skillet. Add more coconut oil if needed.

Flip polenta to heat the second side. Then add onions and sausage back to the pan. Add pepper.

Add Kale and cover. Lower heat to low. in about 5 - 10 mins. Add Marinara sauce and cover again for another 5-10 mins.

Once the Kale turns bright green serve.

Then it got me thinking I can make it from scratch. So I started checking recipes online.

Here's a simple from Food Network
