How to Prepare Asian Broccolette Polenta [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. First, chop the vegetables. Studies show that if broccoli is allowed to rest 10 minutes after being chopped, it’s antioxidants are greatly increased.
  2. In a large frying pan heat the sesame oil over medium. Then, add the vegetables and polenta. Sautee for about 10 minutes until the broccolette becomes bright green and the polenta begins to break down.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together all the sauce ingredients.
  4. Add to the vegetables and stir well, deglazing the pan. Cover and allow to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The polenta should break down and the vegetables should be tender when done. Serve hot.
