Red Chard with Baby Crimini and Shiitake Mushrooms Over Polenta
- 1 bunch Chard, Washed With Stems Removed And Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces
- 1 pound Mushrooms, Sliced (I Used Baby Crimini And Shiitake)
- 1 whole Shallot, Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 4 ounces, fluid Pancetta, Diced
- 1/2 cups Broth, Vegetable Or Chicken
- 1/4 cups Dry White Wine
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme, Chopped
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced And Zested
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 3 cups Broth, Vegetable Or Chicken
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat.
- Add the pancetta and cook until crispy.
- Remove and set aside.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the same pan.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the olive oil, butter and mushrooms.
- Stir well to combine and then allow to cook.
- Resist the urge to stir!
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes without disturbing to allow the mushrooms to caramelize.
- Add the wine to the pan and cook until the liquid is evaporated.
- Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the chard to the same pan.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Once reduced in size, about a minute, return the pancetta and mushroom mixture to the pan.
- Add the broth and cook down to evaporate a bit of the liquid, about a minute or so.
- Taste for additional salt and pepper.
- Add the lemon juice and zest and thyme and serve immediately over hot polenta.
- Prepare the polenta ten minutes before service.
- Bring the broth to boil, gradually stir in the cornmeal and turn the heat down.
- Stir, stir, stir.
- After about ten minutes, the polenta will have thickened.
- Take it off the heat, add the butter and parmesan.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
