Ingredients

Scale

For the Polenta:

  • 1 cup polenta (or coarse cornmeal)
  • 4 cups water (or a mix of water and vegetable broth)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Mushrooms:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb mixed wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, or chanterelle), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1/4 cup white wine or vegetable broth (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra Parmesan (for serving)

Instructions

  • Make the Polenta: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water (or broth) to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, reduce heat to low, and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth and thick. Add butter, Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Cook the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic for about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and sage. Optionally deglaze with white wine or broth, cooking off the liquid for 2-3 minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish: Spoon polenta onto plates or into bowls. Top with mushrooms, garnish with parsley, and add extra Parmesan if desired.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately with additional Parmesan and fresh sage for garnish.

Notes

  • For a richer texture, adjust the amount of butter and cheese in the polenta.
  • If using dried sage, reduce the amount as it is more concentrated than fresh.
