Instructions for Creamy Polenta With Mushrooms Recipe

To begin with Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms, first bring water and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Once it is boiled, add bay leaf, salt and pepper.

Once the mixture starts boiling, gradually add the corn meal (in a stream) stirring constantly.

Keep stirring/whisking till the mixture begins to thicken. Reduce the heat and cook till it is thick, stirring frequently for about 35-40 minutes.

Add a little water if required to make it thin and whisk. Stir in the butter and whisk again.

The next step is to make the mushrooms. Heat oil in a pan and add onion and garlic. Saute it for about 1-2 minutes.

After 1-2 minutes, add the flour and cook for a few seconds. Later, add the mushrooms and stir.

Add salt, pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and cook till the sauce thickens a bit.

Take off the heat, add parsley and mix and your dish is ready to be served.

To serve, take a serving dish. Ladle the hot creamy Polenta and serve the mushrooms over the Polenta, garnished with Parmesan cheese.
