One of my favorite meal formulas this winter is to throw some greens and maybe another veggie on top of polenta, top it with an egg of some sort, and call it a day. The possibilities are endless, and the results are always tasty.
When I was developing meals for Cooking Planit, I knew one of those combos would be perfect, so I started experimenting. Creamy polenta topped with garlicky sautéed kale, roasted delicata squash and a perfectly poached egg turned out to be our winner, and it was absolutely delicious.
The delicata squash is optional, and in fact it isn’t included in the Cooking Planit meal, since it can be hard to find. You can easily substitute any other winter squash, but I love delicata because it’s pretty and you don’t have to peel it. It’s a win-win.
Head on over to Cooking Planit to find the recipes for this meal, as well as several others I collaborated with them on. Not only will you get the recipes, but Cooking Planit will organize your shopping list and tell you how to order all the steps so can cook your meal efficiently and with a minimum of stress. Can’t beat that!
You must think I’m the most redundant commenter ever, but dear LORD that looks so good. You pose your foods well.

You keep me from feeling like I’m writing into a void!
Also, I love redundant comments when they are positive. :p

I’ve never tried delicata. No peeling? I’m in. That recipe looks delicious!

I know… peeling is the worst part of winter squash. The peel is pretty thin, and it can be roasted right with the squash and eaten, so why not?

I love runny eggs on just about everything, but especially atop polenta!

It’s a perfect combo, isn’t it?
I was just reading on Kitchen Parade how to perfectly poach eggs, and now a yummy-looking place to perch that perfectly poached egg.
I think I just spit all over the screen typing all those Ps!
Thanks!

Love it! There is definitely an art to poaching an egg perfectly, but the finished product is sooooo good.
