ingredients

4 1/2 cups chicken stock or water
1 cup coarse corn meal
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/4 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
1/2 onion, sliced thin
salt and pepper

directions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the stock or water to a boil. Stir in the cornmeal. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until thickened and smooth. Stir in the butter, Parmesan, and salt and pepper as desired. For firm polenta, pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and let cool just until firm.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.

Spoon (or slice, depending on how firm it is) the polenta onto plates. Top with the mushroom mixture and serve hot.

  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    This was a wonderful dish! The directions lacked information as to what to do with the cooked mushrooms. We looked up similar recipes and decided that since the mushrooms were cooked early on, they should be added to the polenta mixture. We reserved some for garnish, however. Flavor was delicious and this would accompany a wide variety of entrees. If you can't find shiitake mushrooms, portabello would substitute ok.
