Garlic Mushrooms with Cheesy Polenta

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g sliced mixed mushrooms
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 3 sprigs of thyme, leaves picked
  • Chopped parsley
  • For the Polenta
  • 120g quick-cook polenta
  • 600ml water
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 30g parmesan, grated
  • Fry the mushrooms and garlic in the oil for 5 mins to soften, then stir in the thyme leaves and some seasoning, and cook for 2 mins more. Meanwhile, boil the water in a saucepan and gradually pour in the polenta, whisking constantly for 5 mins, until all the water has been absorbed. Stir in the butter and cheese, and season well. Divide the polenta between 2 plates and top with a generous portion of mushrooms, parsley, and some more cheese for good measure.
