POLENTA BITES WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND FONTINA



Polenta Bites with Wild Mushrooms and Fontina image

Store-bought tubes of polenta are the ultimate appetizer shortcut: just slice and toast in the oven, top with sautéed wild mushrooms and a sprinkling of grated Fontina, then bake again until melty and irresistible. A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and a splash of Sherry vinegar punch up the flavor of the mushrooms.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds prepared polenta, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (about 30 rounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms (such as oyster, crimini, and/or stemmed shiitake), cut into thick slices
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Sherry vinegar
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
4 ounces Fontina cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush both sides of polenta slices very lightly with oil and arrange on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast polenta until lightly golden brown and warmed through, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until tender and browned, about 12 minutes. Add shallots, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley.
  • Divide mushroom mixture between baking sheets with polenta. Top with cheese. Continue to roast until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange polenta bites on a platter and serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • Mushroom mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT POLENTA



How to Make Perfect Polenta image

Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a perfect base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Grain Side Dish Recipes     Polenta Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups water
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup polenta
3 tablespoons butter, divided
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; pour polenta slowly into boiling water, whisking constantly until all polenta is stirred in and there are no lumps.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking often, until polenta starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Polenta mixture should still be slightly loose. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, whisking every 5 to 6 minutes. When polenta is too thick to whisk, stir with a wooden spoon. Polenta is done when texture is creamy and the individual grains are tender.
  • Turn off heat and gently stir 2 tablespoons butter into polenta until butter partially melts; mix 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into polenta until cheese has melted. Cover and let stand 5 minutes to thicken; stir and taste for salt before transferring to a serving bowl. Top polenta with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and about 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish.

POLENTA PARTY!



Polenta Party! image

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup polenta, medium grind
1/2 cup semolina flour
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups cream
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated Fontina
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine the polenta and semolina and set aside.
  • In a heavy stainless pan or casserole, Combine the stock, cream, nutmeg, and salt and place over medium heat. Bring mixture to a simmer, and slowly but steadily whisk in the polenta and semolina.
  • Continue to stir, allowing the mixture to return to a simmer and then reduce the heat so that the mixture barely bubbles. Stir the polenta for about 5 more minutes, until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot. Remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the hot polenta and mix well.
  • While the polenta is warm spread it evenly in an ungreased 8 by 8-inch square pan. Allow the polenta to cool for about 10 minutes and then cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  • After the polenta has thoroughly chilled, loosen the sides of the polenta by running a knife around the sides of the pan. Cut into 2 inch squares or as desired. Lift the pieces out carefully with a small spatula and place on a small sheet pan. Grill or broil the polenta pieces until they are golden brown. Serve with a variety of toppings such as Parmesan, bolognese, balsamic mushrooms and broccoli rabe with crushed chili flakes.

39 POLENTA RECIPES FOR CREAMY (OR CRISPY!) AND DELICIOUS …
39-polenta-recipes-for-creamy-or-crispy-and-delicious image

From epicurious.com
  • Oven Polenta With Roasted Mushrooms and Thyme. Still stirring your polenta? With this nearly hands-off polenta recipe, the oven does the hard work while your stovetop does the bare minimum.
  • Cheesy Baked Butternut Squash Polenta. Butternut squash melts into the polenta as this creamy, make-ahead dish cooks, while chunks of Fontina create melting pockets of cheese throughout.
  • Blood Orange and Poppy Polenta Shortbread Cookies. Polenta adds corny, savory deliciousness to these light and sweet cookies. If you can't find blood oranges, substitute navel orange zest and juice.
  • Wild Mushroom and Parsnip Ragout With Cheesy Polenta. This hearty vegetarian ragout—served on a bed of creamy polenta—gets a boost of rich flavor from umami-packed tomato and miso pastes.
  • Brown Butter-Polenta Cake with Maple Caramel. We love using polenta in our baking. To make sure this cake comes out moist, use finely ground polenta (labeled "quick-cooking" or "instant").
  • Upside-Down Blood Orange–Polenta Cake. A touch of polenta in the batter gives this cake satisfying texture and an extra layer of nutty sweetness. Get This Recipe.
  • Slow Cooker Ricotta-Spinach Polenta with Tomato Salad. Polenta recipes often use the pantry staple as a neutral carb canvas for a rich sauce or braised meat, but here the creamy ricotta-and-spinach-enriched polenta is the centerpiece, with a simple little salad on top for freshness.
  • Polenta Cacio e Pepe. This polenta recipe uses the pressure cooker for a dish that's simple and so delicious. If you don't have Pecorino, Parmesan also works well.
  • Italian Fish and Vegetable Stew. Polenta doesn't need a heavy meat topping. Here, it gets firm white fish (such as mahi-mahi, cod, or halibut) and a bright sauce made with fresh vegetables, plus a bit of red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard.
  • Polenta Bites with Wild Mushrooms and Fontina. Store-bought tubes of polenta are the ultimate appetizer shortcut: just slice and toast in the oven, top with sautéed wild mushrooms and a sprinkling of grated Fontina, then bake again until melty and irresistible.
