Steps:
- In a medium pot over high heat, bring 6 cups of the water to a boil. Add the polenta and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, stirring gently to distribute the grains through the water.
- Decrease the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the polenta loses its graininess, 35 to 40 minutes. If the polenta becomes very thick, gradually add the remaining cup of water during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
- While the polenta cooks, bring a second large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the greens, bring the water back to a boil, decrease the heat to medium, and cook, stirring often, until the greens are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.☞TESTER TIP: The greens will lose a significant amount of volume as they cook, but if it is easier, go ahead and cook the greens in batches, using a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked greens to a colander before starting the next batch.
- Scoop out a cup of cooking water and reserve, then drain the greens in a colander. Return the pot to the stove.
- In the same pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes, if using, and decrease the heat to medium-low.
- Add the bread crumbs to the anchovies and let them toast, stirring often, until they turn golden and soak up any remaining butter, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring often to prevent the bread crumbs from burning. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into a small bowl and return the pot to medium heat.
- Return the drained greens to the pot. Stir in the olive oil, three-quarters of the Parmesan, three-quarters of the bread-crumb mixture, plenty of fresh pepper, and a splash of the greens' cooking water.
- Spoon the polenta into a large wide bowl or divvy between individual serving bowls and top with the remaining Parmesan. Spoon the greens over the polenta, and sprinkle the remaining breadcrumb mixture over the top.

Steps:
- For the polenta: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with a thin coat of olive oil.
- Combine 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Slowly add the polenta, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to low, bringing the polenta to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter, cheese and rosemary. Pour the polenta into the prepared dish and cool completely until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone liner.
- Unmold the polenta, cut into 1-inch squares and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden, about 1 hour.
- For the salad: Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar and Dijon in a small bowl along with some salt and pepper. Add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Toss the greens with the dressing in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, cranberries, and Roquefort and toss again. Arrange the salad on a large serving platter or individual plates. Top with half the croutons and serve immediately. Reserve the remaining croutons for another use in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Steps:
- Pour warm polenta into a large ovenproof skillet or a ceramic baking dish or metal baking pan and spread into an even layer (ideally about 1" thick). Let cool, then cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Heat garlic and ¼ cup oil in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add beans and red pepper flakes (if using), then, working in batches, add kale, letting it wilt slightly after each addition before adding more, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and evenly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt and cook, still stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup Parmesan.
- Scrape kale mixture over prepared polenta and spread into an even layer. Drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with more Parmesan.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake until polenta is warmed through and topping is lightly crisped and browned, 8-10 minutes.
GRATIN OF POLENTA WITH GREENS
This gratin can be a substantial side dish or a light supper. Flavoring olive oil with crushed red chile flakes makes a "red" oil to add subtle heat.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. In an oiled 3-qt. nonstick ovenproof skillet, stir together the cornmeal, water, and salt. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
- In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chile flakes, and a pinch of black pepper; cook for 1 minute. Pour half the oil into a 1-1/2- or 2-qt. baking and serving dish, reserving the garlic in the skillet, and then pour another 1 Tbs. into a cup to be drizzled over the final dish. Brush the seasoned oil all over the inside of the serving dish. Add the chopped greens to the oil and garlic remaining in the skillet, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the garlic. Season the greens with salt and pepper. If necessary, uncover the greens and increase the heat at the end to evaporate any liquid. (You'll have 1-1/2 to 2 cups cooked greens.)
- When the polenta has cooked 40 minutes, quickly stir in the greens and half the cheese until combined. Taste and add salt if needed. Transfer to the oiled ovenproof serving dish, drizzle with the reserved oil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted, another 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Make the chile oil: Combine the chopped chiles, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over low heat and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 week. (You will have about 1 1/4 cups chile oil.)
- Cook the polenta: Bring 3 cups cold water, the milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta; whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until tender and thickened but still creamy, about 30 minutes. Add more hot water as needed if the mixture seems too dry. Stir in the butter and cheese.
- Meanwhile, make the braised greens: Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the greens, season with salt and pepper and toss. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in 1 cup water, cover and cook until wilted and soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid during the last 5 minutes to cook off any additional liquid. Stir in the red wine vinegar just before serving.
- Poach the eggs: Heat 3 cups water with the white vinegar until simmering in a large high-sided frying pan. Break each egg into a cup, then gently add to the water. Poach until the yolks are nearly set, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid and place on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some of the polenta into bowls, top with some of the greens and a poached egg per bowl. Drizzle with the chile oil and garnish with the chopped parsley.
