Ingredients:
For the polenta:
1 cup (160g) Yellow cornmeal/polenta flour
4-4½ cups (1-1.1L) Water/vegetable stock
3 tablespoons (45g) Butter
2oz (60g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
For the sautéed mushrooms:
9oz (250g) Mushrooms
1 Onion, sliced
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 tablespoon (15g) Butter
2 teaspoons Thyme
Directions:
1. Make the polenta: To a pot with water/stock add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Pour polenta flour to the pot, while constantly whisking, until combined and no lumps.
2. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, whisking every 5 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides, bottom, and corners of the pan. Turn the heat off and stir in butter and cheese. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
3. While the polenta is cooking, make the mushrooms: in a pan over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add sliced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, add sliced mushrooms, season with salt, pepper and thyme. Sauté until the mushrooms are soft and cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
4. Serve: spoon polenta into a serving plate, top with some mushrooms and parmesan shavings.
