Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 large portobello mushroom caps -- thinly sliced

1 pound Swiss chard (or 1 large bunch)

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2 cups vegetable stock

1/2 cup polenta (corn meal)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese

Chopped parsley -- for garnish

 

Wash the chard well. Remove large stems. Tear leaves into bite-size pieces.

 

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and

saute the onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining oil

and mushrooms. Cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and 2

tablespoons of water. Cover pan and cook until the chard is wilted, about 4

minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

 

In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Gradually add polenta,

whisking constantly. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often,

for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and grated cheese. Divide

polenta among 4 serving dishes and top with the mushroom-chard mixture. Sprinkle

with chopped parsley. Makes 4 servings.
