Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

  2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the polenta, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until it has thickened to a creamy consistency.

  3. Once the polenta is cooked, stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the mushrooms.

  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 6-8 minutes.

  5. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the mushrooms and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy polenta into individual bowls and top with the sautéed mushrooms. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

  7. Serve the polenta with mushrooms warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures.
