Preheat oven to 400. Grease a round cake pan with cooking spray.

Melt 1/2 T butter or place 1/2 T olive oil in a small pan. Add garlic and shallot and cook over low heat until translucent. Set aside.

Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add kale and cover, cook 5 mins stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, add remaining butter or oil. Slowly add polenta while stirring constantly until smooth. Partially cover and cook for 1-2 mins, until thick. (I didn't need this step, it got thick instantly.)

Remove pot from heat and stir in onions and garlic, cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Scrape mixture into the cake pan. Bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Let cool for at least 20 mins before attempting to cut slices.

This can be eaten warm or cold. Leftovers were good for breakfast with eggs. Next time I might skip the baking step and just serve it soft. You could try different cheeses or throw in mushrooms or other veggies, or substitute spinach for the kale.
