Vegan Mushrooms And Polenta
Vegan Mushrooms And Polenta
"Coming back to this recipe now. It can be kept vegan, could be made a vegetarian version with adding dairy products or eggs to it or if you eat meat, add some meat to it. Any kind of meat you like – grilled, oven or pan cooked. This is a beautiful and versatile gluten-free recipe suitable for vegan, vegetarian and any meat lover. I have added some bacon in the past and topped with a pan-fried egg. Oh, delicious!"
NotesI recommend you add the cornmeal little by little as you will need to learn about how this behaves. Some will absorb a lot more water than others. If you have added too much cornmeal (polenta flour as I call it) do not worry, put the kettle on, boil some water and add to the polenta until you get the consistency you wish. For this kind of dish I like it a lot runnier than usual.
Enjoy it and please let me know how it came out for you.

Ingredients
- For the Polenta :300 g Polenta flour cornmeal
- 1 l water
- 1 tsp Salt
- For the mushroom sauté:500 g Mushrooms
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4-5 sprigs Dill
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 100 g Vegan cheese to serve.
Instructions
-
Put the water into a deeper cast iron or nonstick pot, add the salt and place on medium fire. When the water begins to simmer, add the cornmeal, whisking constantly to homogenise but also to avoid lumps. The polenta will begin to thicken fairly quickly. Whisk or stir it fairly often. It may form a crust which is absolutely fine.
-
While polenta cooks, place a pan over medium fire, add a good drizzle of olive oil, the crushed and finely chopped garlic, and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 10-12 min till they begin to brown on all sides. Add a little salt, pepper to taste and garnish with dill.
-
When the polenta is ready dish it out into the desired individual plates or onto one big servin plate and top with the mushrooms. Sprinkle some crumbled vegan cheese and serve while warm.

Enjoy along with some homemade chips just like we did. Yummmyy!
