Portabella Mushrooms With Polenta and Balsamic Vinegar image

My husband and I had an appetizer like this on our anniversary a couple of years ago at Table Rock Lake in the Ozarks. It was so yummy that I had to find a recipe to recreate it. I couldn't find the exact recipe so here is the modified version of a couple of recipes that I came up with.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup non-instant polenta or 1 cup cornmeal
4 cups boiling water
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon crumbled fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
4 large portabella mushrooms, stems removed
nonstick cooking spray or oil
good quality balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In deep, heavy pot, combine olive oil and polenta.
  • Cook over med-high heat, stirring, until polenta smells toasty, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat.
  • Add boiling water carefully, as this will splatter if you add it too quickly.
  • Stir until the polenta is smooth.
  • 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.
  • While polenta cooks, lightly spray the mushroom caps, sprinkle with salt and grill, underside (gills) down, on a very hot grill or in heavy cast iron pan, about 4 minutes per side or until tender.
  • Divide the polenta among 4 dinner-size plates.
  • Sprinkle each with a quarter of the cheese.
  • Top each serving of polenta with a sliced mushroom, fanning the pieces.
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the mushroom and polenta.
  • Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I used zucchini instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out really gluey. I think I might have used too much water.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the mushrooms were perfectly cooked. I loved the balsamic vinegar reduction, it added a nice tangy flavor to the dish.
