Cheesy Polenta With Portobellos And Roasted Tomatoes
- 12 medium tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 portobello mushrooms large, wiped clean and cut into 4-5 slices
- 1 clove garlic peeled and thinly sliced
- polenta
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups instant polenta
- 1/4 cup cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 1/2 ounces cheddar grated
- 2 ounces Parmesan grated
- ground nutmeg to taste
- arugula to serve
- Preheat the oven to 450u0b0F. Line a shallow baking dish with parchment paper and add the tomatoes, cut side up. Sprinkle with sugar, season to taste and drizzle with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Bake for 20-30 mins, or until the tomatoes have collapsed and the edges are starting to char.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the butter and as soon as it sizzles, add the mushrooms. Cook until browned on both sides. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, stirring, then remove from heat and season to taste.
- For the polenta: Bring 1 cup milk and 4 cups water to a boil in a deep saucepan. Add the salt, then slowly add the polenta, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 mins, stirring 2-3 times per minute. Stir in the remaining milk and the cream. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, cheeses and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Serve polenta immediately, topped with mushrooms, tomatoes and arugula.
