Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 428°F. Heat a pan and sauté the peeled and halved shallots in two tablespoons of olive oil for a few minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and thyme. Add salt and pepper, mix well. Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Bring 600 ml of water to a boil.

Step 3

In a pot, pour in olive oil and add spinach. Add seasonings to taste, sprinkle with grated nutmeg, and mix. Once the spinach is ready, drain the excess oil. Keep warm.

Step 4

As soon as the water boils, add salt and pour in the polenta continuously. Add finely chopped garlic, stirring constantly until the polenta starts to thicken. This process should take about a minute. Add the Cambozola (without rind, diced). Wait for the cheese to melt.
