Polenta and Mushroom Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Polenta

In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook while stirring frequently for about 20-25 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese.

2

Cook the Mushrooms

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

3

Add Herbs and Seasoning

Stir in the chopped thyme and parsley. Season with black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4

Serve

Spoon the polenta onto plates and top with the herb mushroom mixture. Serve hot.
