INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 c. chopped fresh mushrooms (your choice)
5 c. low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 c. stone ground coarse cornmeal (polenta)
1/4 c. plus 4 T. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 T. olive oil
1-1 1/2 t. fresh rosemary, chopped (leaves only)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 13x9x2-inch baking dish and set aside.
Lightly oil a nonstick skillet. Place over medium heat, add mushrooms and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Measure broth into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and stir in cornmeal. Cook cornmeal until thick, stirring constantly, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in mushrooms, 1/4 c. + 1 T. of the cheese, olive oil and rosemary. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, then sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over top. Place on middle rack in oven and bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
