Ingredients
CREAMY POLENTA
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 cups polenta
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup feta cheese or cheese of choice
CARAMELIZED ONIONS, PEPPERS, AND MUSHROOMS
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion , thinly sliced
- 8 sweet pepper or 1 bell pepper
- 3 cups baby bella mushroom quartered
- 2 tablespoons oregano chopped, fresh
- feta cheese or parmesan, for serving
Instructions
PREPARE THE VEGETABLES
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high and add the onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown on the sides, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until onion has almost caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Add the peppers and mushrooms (increase the heat if necessary) and cook until peppers and mushrooms have softened and turn golden-brown, about 8 minutes. (Note: you can prepare the polenta while the vegetables are cooking).
PREPARE THE POLENTA
- Heat the water in a deep saucepan to a full boil and add the sea salt. Gradually add the polenta, stirring constantly. Add the butter and continue cooking at a simmer, stirring constantly, until polenta is thick and creamy, about 20 to 30 minutes. Taste polenta for flavor and add more sea salt and/or cheese to taste.
- Serve polenta with caramelized onions, peppers, and mushrooms on top, along with a sprinkle of feta (or parmesan cheese) and chopped oregano.
