Ingredients
- 1 cup of stone-ground polenta
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil divided
- plant-based milk to taste (optional)
- 1 pound of sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- ½ of a lime
- ½ to 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the polenta according to package instructions. When ready, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cover with the lid, and set aside.
- In a large pan with a lid, over medium heat, add the remaining oil. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, juice of the lime, ½ cup of water, and tomato paste. Mix well and add it to the pan. Mix well, bring to a boil, cover, and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Do not let juices dry, add water as needed.
- Once the mushrooms are ready, taste and season with black pepper.
- If the polenta has dried up and too thick for personal taste add the remaining plant-based milk until the desired consistency is achieved. Serve immediately topped with mushrooms and sauce.

Notes
- For more flavor: Cook the polenta with vegetable broth instead of water.
- Use instant polenta when possible: To cut cooking time down to minutes instead of 30-45 minutes. If unavailable, coarsely ground cornmeal will have a similar taste and texture.
- If you use regular polenta: Simmer over low, partially covered, whisking vigorously every 5 minutes until tender and creamy.
- To avoid lumpy polenta: Sprinkle the polenta into the pan gradually while whisking constantly. Then whisk frequently (or constantly if using instant polenta) until thickened.
