Time 3h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ½ cups water
1 ¾ cups cornmeal
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 large egg yolk
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, sliced
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
⅓ cup brandy
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Butter a 8x12-inch rimmed baking sheet. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add cornmeal and whisk. Cook until mixture pulls away from the sides of the saucepan, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt, and nutmeg. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cool for at least 2 hours. Trim edges and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in brandy and garlic; heat through, about 5 minutes more. The mixture should be saucy.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a large baking dish.
  • Place polenta cubes in the prepared baking dish, top with mushroom mixture, including juices. Mix remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, bread crumbs, and dried parsley together in a bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture on top of mushrooms.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

This polenta dish was a disaster. The polenta was too thick and the mushrooms were undercooked. I will not be making this again.

I made this polenta dish and it was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some additional seasonings.
