Polenta With Creamy Mushroom Sauce image

I love those convenient tubes of prepared polenta and always keep one on hand for quick and easy meals. This recipe has become one of our favorites...it's hearty enough for a main meal, served with steamed broccoli. I found this recipe in the Oct/Nov 2006 issue of EatingWell magazine.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package plain prepared polenta, sliced into 8 rounds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 lb white mushrooms or 1 lb cremini mushroom, sliced
2 cups stemmed and sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2/3 cup shredded Fontina cheese (may substitute Gruyere or Swiss)
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Arrange the polenta on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crispy on the bottom and heated through, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine; bring to a boil and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the liquid until the pan is almost dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the sour cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir in cheese and tarragon.
  • Serve the sauce over the polenta.
