Ingredients
1/2 roll (250 grams) prepared polenta (Food Merchants Sun Dried Tomato Garlic is good)1/2 cup diced lean ham1/2 cup slivered red onion1 cup fresh spinach leaves2 tsp Smart Balance Light Buttery Spread1 oz white wine (not cooking wine)1/4 tsp smoked paprikaFresh ground pepper to taste
Directions
Heat a nonstick skillet on medium; spray with nonstick cooking spray if desired. Slice polenta into 6 slices (about 1/2 inch thick). Fry until slightly crisp and heated through, seasoning each side with paprika and black pepper. Remove and place on a serving plate.

Melt buttery spread in pan over medium heat. Add onions and briefly sautee. Add ham and spinach and season with black pepper. Sautee, tossing frequently, until spinach is wilted and onions are slightly translucent but still crisp. Add wine and sautee briefly, scraping up any browned bits from pan.

Place spinach mixture on top of polenta and enjoy. Makes a filling dinner for one, or a side dish for two.
