Cookies, Cannellini Salad Letuce Cups, Polenta Seitan Skillet Redux


Dinner tonight was influenced by all the food blogs out there. I tried my hand at the combination of polenta, greens and seitan at decided to stray away from the one-dish idea. I pan fried the polenta, sauted the greens with garlic, seared the seitan, and added a few little bits. The cannellini bean salad was served in bibb lettuce cups with a garlic aoli.

Tear the lettuce leaves from base to make a cup, spoon salad into cup. Drizzle aoli over the top.
