Mascarpone Polenta With Wild Mushrooms
- 1 cup polenta or ground corn
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone
- Kosher salt
- White pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 cups thinly sliced mixed mushrooms (such as chanterelles, cremini, shiitake, beech and oyster)
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- White truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
- 1. In a large saucepot, bring 5 cups of salted water to a boil. Slowly add the polenta and whisk constantly until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the butter, corn and mascarpone. Season with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
- 2. In a large skillet set over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until they soften slightly, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until translucent. Season with salt.
- 3. Stir the herbs into the polenta and spread the polenta onto a serving platter. Spoon the mushrooms onto the center of the polenta and drizzle lightly with truffle oil. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.
