Polenta With Garlicky Greens

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This recipe was time consuming first to make the polenta, then to make the bok choy topping. It's likely my fault, but I didn't think polenta was runny. Somehow I thought it'd be more like the consistency of a cake. After the various ingredients, I thought it would be more tasty. After a few bites, my husband threw his away. Disappointing, especially after high reviews.
