Ingredients
1
tube of Polenta
You can also by it in a box and make it from scratch but it is sometimes harder to find
1/2
cup
milk
1
TBSP
butter
1
carton mushrooms
I like baby bellas but any kind will work
1
carton cherry tomatoes
1
large shallot
3
cloves
garlic
olive oil
sea salt
parmesan
optional
Instructions
Prepare the Veggies
Clean the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
Cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces and cherry tomatoes in half. (kitchen shears work really well for this!) (picture 2)
Place mushrooms and tomatoes on a sheet pan.
Chop the shallot and add to the sheet pan.
Crush the garlic cloves and add to the sheet pan.
Drizzle with about a TBSP of olive oil and toss to coat.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
To Make the Polenta
Take the polenta out of the packaging and put it in a saucepan.
Add 1/2 cup milk and TBSP butter.
Heat on medium, stirring to soften.
Use a potato masher to break up the polenta and incorporate the butter and milk. (picture 3)
It should resemble mashed potatoes.
If it gets too sticky, add more milk.
How to Put it All Together
When polenta is ready, place it in a serving dish. (picture 4)
Top with roasted mushroom mixture.
Drizzle with a little olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle on some sea salt.
Serve with parmesan, if desired.
