40 g Parmesan Shavings

Peel the garlic and onion, chop finely and let them fry in a pan with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and diced bacon until they are golden. Add the mushrooms, a pinch of salt and a generous grinding of pepper, cover, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often. Turn off and stir in the parsley. 3) When the polenta and ready, divide it among 4 plates, place the mushrooms in the center of their base and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
