Polenta and Sausage Hunger Killer: Smacafam

• 4 cups water
• 1 cup quick cook polenta
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 pounds sweet Italian sausage (8 links) cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large portobello mushroom, stem removed, cap thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves
• 1 cup red wine
• Salt and pepper

1. Bring the water to a boil in a 6-quart saucepan.
2. Pour the polenta in a thin stream into the boiling water and, whisking constantly, cook until it is as thick as porridge.
3. Continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon until it is too thick to stir.
4. Pour the polenta out onto a wooden cutting board.
5. In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat the oil until it is smoking and add the onion.
6. Cook until just softened, or 2 to 3 minutes, and add the sausage pieces.
7. Cook until browned on all sides and drain the fat from the pan.
8. Add the portobellos, rosemary and red wine and bring to a boil.
9. Simmer 10 minutes covered, or until sausage is cooked.
10. Slice pieces of polenta off the board with a knife and place in each of four warmed pasta bowls.
11. Remove the sausage mixture from the heat, season, to taste, and pour over polenta.
12. Serve immediately.
