Polenta with Kale and Chickpea Ragù

Polenta with Kale and Chickpea Ragù

Kale has become trendy in the last few years but, in Tuscany, cavolo nero has long been the king of winter vegetables. And it’s not only for salads or smoothies over there! The celebrated Italian inventiveness has paved the way for an array of lip-smacking and inexpensive recipes, such as this vegetarian ragù prepared in bianco, meaning without tomatoes. It’s evidence that with a little imagination and flair, you can prepare knockout dishes with only a handful of ingredients. Here’s a new, easy, and hearty meal for your repertoire.
