Grilled Polenta with Mushrooms

 

Ingredients: (Serves 6)

 

1/2 pound button mushrooms, sliced -

2/3 cup instant polenta

2 ounces fresh porcini mushrooms, sliced

3 tablespoons tomato purée

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tablespoon minced parsley

2 tablespoons extra - virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon soy sauce (gf)

salt

 

 

In a large pot, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon of

salt; whisk in the polenta. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat,

whisking all the while. On a moistened tray, spread the polenta to a

thickness of 2/3 " ; allow to cool. In a wide skillet, heat the olive

oil with the garlic. Discard the garlic as soon as it starts to brown.

Add all the mushrooms and sauté over high heat until soft. Add the

tomato purée and soy sauce and cook 5 more minutes over medium heat.

Preheat the grill. With a round cookie cutter, cut twelve 2 " discs out

of the cooled polenta. Grill the discs until brown. Spoon the hot

mushrooms with their cooking juices over the polenta discs, garnish

with the parsley, and serve hot.
