Polenta, with its rich history and versatility, has always been a beloved dish in Italy. Today, we present a special version: rich polenta with mushrooms and mozzarella. This dish is perfect for family dinners or to impress guests with something unique.
INGREDIENTS
- 250g of instant polenta
- 1 liter of water
- Salt, to taste.
- 300g of mixed mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 200g of mozzarella
- Fresh parsley
- Black pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Slowly pour in the polenta, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook according to the package instructions until you achieve a creamy consistency.
Meanwhile, clean the mushrooms and cut them into pieces. In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil with the garlic cloves. Add the mushrooms and cook until they turn golden. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
Once ready, pour the polenta into a baking dish or directly onto plates. Top with the mushrooms and mozzarella cubes.
The heat of the polenta will slightly melt the mozzarella, creating an irresistible combination of flavors and textures.
For a final touch, add a pinch of black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. If desired, garnish the dish with additional fresh parsley.
