MUSHROOM AND MARSALA CASSEROLE WITH POLENTA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover the dried mushrooms with about 2 cups water in a small pot. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat and simmer to reconstitute them. Meanwhile, heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the portobello and mixed fresh mushrooms and cook until darkened and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, carrots and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Add the Marsala and deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add the soaked dried mushrooms and most of the cooking broth, leaving behind the last few spoonfuls as grit may settle there. Transfer the stew to a 10 to 12-inch casserole dish. Heat the milk and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Whisk in the polenta and cook, whisking, until thickened. Remove from the heat while the polenta is still pourable and stir in the butter, Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the polenta over the mushrooms in the casserole dish. Top with the smoked cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden and bubbly on top, 15 to 20 more minutes. Cook's Note: If you are not serving the casserole immediately, assemble it but do not bake. Cool, then store in the refrigerator. Bake as directed before serving.;

PORTABELLO MUSHROOM MARSALA

• Begin by cleaning the mushrooms thoroughly. Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat and add the mushrooms, garlic, and onion. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
• Add marsala wine, vegetable stock, butter, sugar, pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Allow to boil for about 10 minutes or until the alcohol is cooked out. Tasting and smelling the sauce will help you determine when the alcohol has boiled out.
• Combine corn starch and water in a separate container and mix until thoroughly combined. Add to the sauce pan and mix together. The sauce will thicken slightly.

MUSHROOMS MARSALA

Steps:

• Clean and take stems off (optional) the mushrooms.
• Place mushrooms in a sauce pan at medium to high heat, sprinkle them with the salt and cover them almost completely with a lid for about 8-9 minutes. Stir them a couple of times just so they don't burn.
• You want them to render just about all of their water, reducing them in size and growing in flavor. Once they've rendered just about all their water and the bottom of the pot is dry.
• Add the oil, the basil and the garlic and saute, browning the mushrooms a bit and always stirring so that the garlic does not burn.
• After about 1 minute of sauteing add the balsamic vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds (the balsamic should boil as it hits the pan) and keep stirring.
• Lastly, turn the heat a little bit higher and add the marsala wine, stirring and deglacing the bottom of the saucepan as well as burning off the alcohol.
• Continue to stir for 1 minute or so until the balsamic and marsala sauce begin to thicken a bit. Take off the heat and let it cool.
