How to Make Baked Polenta With Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in 4 cups of coarse polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for 5 minutes, or until the polenta thickens.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. In a separate pan, sauté 1 pound of sliced mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 cloves of minced garlic until softened and slightly browned.
  5. Gently fold the sautéed mushrooms into the polenta.
  6. Pour the polenta mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs (optional).
