How to Make Mushroom Parmesan Polenta

  1. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender.
  2. Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Continue cooking and stirring for 10-12 minutes, or until the polenta is thick, creamy, and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of half-and-half until melted and smooth.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
