Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g mixed mushrooms ( I used chestnut and shitake, some wild ones would be great though)
  • 1 tablespoon each: Chopped fresh parsley, tarragon and rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 150g Applewood Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 80g polenta

Instructions

  1. Clean the mushrooms and chop roughly.
  2. Heat some olive oil over medium in a frying pan, and add the mushrooms.
  3. Fry for 5-6 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
  4. Add the garlic, half the tarragon and parsley and fry for a further 2 minutes.
  5. Season and set aside.
  6. Boil the stock as per quantity required by polenta.
  7. Add the polenta.
  8. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until cooked (it should still be slightly liquid but with a relatively thick consistency)
  9. Stir in the cheese and butter.
  10. Preheat the grill.
  11. Place the polenta on a heat proof gratin or casserole dish.
  12. Season and top with the rosemary.
