  1. Slice polenta into 6 x 1/2 inch thick slices and lightly brush with olive oil. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and fry polenta slices for approx 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. While polenta is cooking, prepare other ingredients and keep cooked polenta warm.
  2. Remove stalks from mushrooms and finely dice stalks. Set aside.

  5. Gently spoon stuffing on gill side of mushroom to keep mixture warm.
  6. Layer cooked polenta on two plates and stack 3 stuffed mushrooms on top. Season with salt and pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Hints and Tips

Here I've served these on a bed of fried ready-to-serve polenta as I was short on time, however it's easy to make your own! I like mixing grated zucchini or a few tablespoons of homemade pesto into the batter before cooling. These mushrooms also work well with freshly steamed green garlicky beans. If you have a barbecue you can prepare the filling and pre-stuff the mushrooms. Wrap each mushroom in foil and cook on a barbecue for 8-10 minutes.
