Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes, or until onion is soft.
  2. Add spinach (or a combo of greens), ham, pepper and salt to taste. Saute for about 5 more minutes, or until greens are heatet through and no liquid remains.
  3. Preheat oven to 400F. Line 8-inch round springform pan with aluminum foil. Spray bottom and sides of pan with non-stick cooking sparay. (You can also use a 2-1/2 quart baking dish, if don't have a springform pan. In that case, you'll have to spoon the torte directly from the dish, instead of unmolding it.)
  4. Bring 4 cups water to a light boil in a large saucepan. Stir together remaining 1 cup water, the cornmeal, and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir cornmeal mixture into boiling water. Use whisk to mix smooth. Reduce heat to med.-low and simmer, stirring CONSTANTLY for about 5-8 more minutes.
  5. Spread 1/3 of polenta (cornmeal mixture) in prepared dish. Cover with half the greens, half the Parmesan and 1/3 of Mozzarella. Repeat layering one more time. Spread with remaining polenta and sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella.
  6. Bake in preheated 400F oven for 30 minutes. The top should get golden brown. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before unmolding. If using springform pan, remove sides and slice. If using a baking dish, just spoon the torte out in portions.
