Polenta with Mushrooms and Gorgonzola
Serves 6
Time 35 min
This satisfying vegetarian dish pairs delicious aromatics like garlic and leeks with fresh rosemary, tender mushrooms and crumbled Gorgonzola. As an alternative to serving soft, porridge-like polenta, transfer it after cooking to a wide, shallow dish and allow to set, then cut into circles and pan-fry before serving, if you like.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup polenta
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 pound button mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 thinly sliced leeks, white and light green part only
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
Method
Bring 4 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot.
Add the polenta while whisking constantly to avoid lumps and cook according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until the mushrooms are browned, another 5 minutes.
Add garlic and leeks and continue cooking until leeks are wilted and soft.
Add rosemary and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
When polenta is ready, serve immediately and top with cooked mushrooms and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
