- In deep, heavy pot, combine olive oil and polenta.
- Cook over med-high heat, stirring, until polenta smells toasty, about 2 minutes.

- Stir in garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Bake polenta, uncovered 20 minutes.
- Stir it well then bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the polenta is creamy.

STUFFED MARINATED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Make vinaigrette:
- In a very small saucepan boil Sherry until reduced by about half and let cool. In a bowl whisk together Sherry, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallot, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and add oils in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in herbs and reserve 1/4 cup vinaigrette for dressing mesclun. Transfer remaining vinaigrette to a large sealable plastic bag.
- Discard stems from mushrooms. Add mushrooms to bag and seal, pressing out excess air. Put bag in a bowl. Marinate mushrooms, chilled, turning bag once or twice, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Make stuffing:
- Finely chop onion and cut prosciutto into julienne strips. In a skillet cook onion in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until soft and transfer to a bowl. Stir in prosciutto and remaining stuffing ingredients and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
- Remove mushrooms from bag, letting excess vinaigrette drip off, and arrange mushrooms, gill sides up, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan. Divide stuffing among mushrooms and press gently and evenly into caps. Pour water and Sherry around mushrooms and bake in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until stuffing is golden brown.
- In a bowl toss mesclun with reserved vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste and divide among 4 plates. Transfer mushrooms with a slotted spatula to a cutting board and cut each crosswise into 4 or 5 pieces. Transfer a sliced mushroom to each plate and garnish with Parmesan curls.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Look for large, firm portobello mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid mushrooms that are bruised or slimy.
- Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris. You can also rinse the mushrooms under cold water, but be sure to pat them dry before cooking.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple mushrooms, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Season the mushrooms with your favorite herbs and spices. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are all good options.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. They're best enjoyed when they're hot and juicy.
