Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms and Cheese | Food Channel L Recipes

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Pecorino cheese is often less expensive and adds a similar flavor.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot.

Add salt to the boiling water.

Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Reduce heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

In a separate skillet, heat butter over medium heat.

Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Add mixed mushrooms and cook until browned.

Season with thyme, black pepper, and salt, stirring well.

Stir the cream cheese and butter into the cooked polenta until creamy.

Fold in grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Serve the creamy polenta topped with the sautéed mushrooms, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and a drizzle of truffle oil.
