POLENTA WITH GREEN BEANS
This is a different and tasty side dish with an Italian flare, thanks to the cooked polenta. Coarsely-ground cornmeal is sometimes labelled "polenta", a little shopping hint if you have trouble finding it at your supermarket. An Italian market will have it if you strike out at your regular grocery story.

GREEN POLENTA
Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and kale, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool.
- Once the mixture has cooled, add to a food processor and process until very smooth. Add a little water, if necessary, to help make a smooth mixture.
- In another large pot, bring 5 cups of water and 2 cups heavy cream to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the polenta and stir constantly until the polenta is creamy, about 20 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water or cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wrap the shallots in aluminum foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Press the insides of the shallots out of the skin, and use a fork to mash with the mustard. Rub pork loins with the mustard-shallot mixture and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and roast, turning every 5 minutes, for 20 minutes.
- Blanch the beans, drain and cool under cold water. Prepare the instant polenta according to the directions on the box. Two minutes before it is through cooking, remove the polenta from the heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons of pepper and the sage, cover and set aside.
- Remove the pork from the oven and set aside. Place the roasting pan over low heat and add half of the carrot broth, scraping well with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining broth, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and simmer until its volume is reduced by half.
- Meanwhile, place a spoonful of the polenta in the center of 4 plates. Slice the pork into thin disks and fan around the polenta. Add the beans to the carrot broth and ladle over the pork slices and serve.

POLENTA OR GRITS WITH BEANS AND CHARD
Anson Mills creamy polenta or grits is very inviting for a savory, brothy bean stew with lots of greens stirred in at the end of cooking. I like to use a reddish bean for this - I have used a number of heirloom varieties from Rancho Gordo, but also regular supermarket pintos and red beans. The recipe makes twice as much bean stew as you will need for 4 portions of polenta or grits. So make the polenta (or grits) again the next day and polish them off!

Steps:
- Chop 1/2 of the onion and set aside. To cook dried beans, transfer with their soaking water to a heavy pot. If beans are not covered by 1 1/2 to 2 inches of water, add more water as necessary. Over medium-high heat, bring to a gentle boil and skim away foam. Add unchopped halved onion, crushed garlic cloves and bouquet garni, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour. Using tongs, removed halved onion and whole garlic cloves.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and add chopped onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes, and add chard stems, garlic and pepper flakes. Continue to cook for another couple of minutes, until onion and chard stems are soft. Stir vegetable mixture into beans. Add tomato paste and salt to taste (I use at least 1 1/2 teaspoons), cover and continue to simmer very gently for 1 hour or until beans are tender all the way through and their texture is plush and velvety. Remove and discard bouquet garni.
- Add chard greens (depending on the size of your pot you may have to add a portion at a time, cover for a minute until the first portion wilts, then add the next portion and so on until all of the greens have been added) and continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until greens are tender but still have some color and life in them. Taste bean broth; it should taste rich, delicious, a little spicy. Add salt as necessary. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, toward the end of the cooking time for the beans, cook polenta; or wait until beans are done and start polenta or grits. When done, spoon into wide soup bowls and press down in the middle with the back of a spoon. Spoon beans and greens with broth over polenta or grits. Top with a little Parmesan or feta and serve.
