Polenta, Pesto and Spinach Omelette (VEGETARIAN)

A vegetarian option where the sweetness of polenta meets the full flavour of pesto.

Prep time 30 min
Serves 4
Difficulty 2/5

Ingredients

  • 1 x 500 g block of Castello Organic Yellow Polenta
  • 4 eggs
  • 150 g of fresh baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons of grated Grana cheese (or Montasio)
  • ½ small white onion
  • 4 tablespoons of Genovese pesto (preferably without garlic)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Information

Method: Finely slice the onion and soften in a small pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 2 minutes. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper and cheese, then pour over the spinach. Cook on both sides and, once cooled slightly, cut into 2 cm strips. Slice the polenta into 2 cm rounds and heat on a griddle or non-stick pan. Spread a thin layer of Genovese pesto over each slice and top with a strip of omelette.

Chef’s Tip: For extra crunch, add toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts.
