Ingredients
  • 1 lb 2oz pre-cooked polenta
  • ½ cup veg broth
  • 8 oz shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 1 medium shallot
  • Oil for two pans
Instructions
  1. Preheat two large saucepans to medium heat and lightly drizzle with oil.
  2. Prepare ingredients by slicing polenta into equal 1/2 inch disks, and finely dicing shallot
  3. In one saucepan, add shallots and thyme, stirring occasionally until shallots are translucent and thyme is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once this is complete, add mushrooms and white wine.
  5. Allow white wine to reduce by half in volume before adding vegetable broth. Allow this mixture to come to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low to continue simmering while you prepare the polenta.
  6. Add polenta to the second hot pan and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, allowing them to become slightly darkened.
  7. Serve hot by portioning polenta onto a plate and topping with the mushrooms and gravy.
