Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Cherry Tomatoes
  • 3 TBSP Olive Oil, divided
  • 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3 Cups Kale, chopped
  • 3 Cups water
  • 1 Cup Corn Grits or Instant Polenta
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Goat Cheese Crumbles
  • 1 TBSP Grated Parmesan Cheese optional for topping

Instructions
 

  • First you want to roast your tomatoes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wash your tomatoes and pat dry.
  • Place tomatoes in a medium bowl. Toss with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Place tomatoes on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roast tomatoes for about 35-40 minutes. Or until they have a nice brown tint to them.
  • In the meantime, heat remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large sauté pan.
  • Add minced garlic. Cook on medium heat until garlic is fragrant. Don't brown or burn. Garlic tastes bitter when burnt.
  • Once you smell the garlic, add the chopped kale and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook for about 1 minute, or until kale has wilted a bit.
  • Transfer to bowl and set aside.
