I could easily just leave it at that, and let the photo talk. Creamy polenta, wild mushrooms and Parmesan shavings. But I simply have to tell you how wonderful and comforting this dish was.
How did it all start? Well I am currently going through my pile of magazines, which due to work and a lot of travelling has increased (good!), but also got a little out of date (bad!). Which means that now I am going every evening through one, take note of the recipes to try, go absolutely ga-ga over the photography, and usually when I finish reading am completely hungry. The circle of magazine reading.
This particular recipe, although it does not actually involve a lot of technique or anything complicated, was published in a recent number of olive. Which means I quickly rustled it up for lunch on Saturday. In between a lot of planning, reading, and general house stuff. Usually I have these ingredients in house, so I will remember the recipe when I need a quick lunch/ dinner solution. The only thing I would do different? Probably add a creamier, richer cheese that goes all gooey and stringy when combined with the hot polenta (you know what I mean).
And yes, it’s the same plate I used here and here. I need new props. Urgently. Any ideas?

I know what you mean by the circle of magazine reading – I have the same trouble surfing food blogs… X__X
Looks gorgeous- just what I’m in the mood for!
I would eat a huge bowl of this and ask for seconds!
The polenta looks perfect. Every time I make polenta it turns out too watery. Mushrooms and parmesan on top sounds good.
Wow, that looks incredibly delicious Andreea! I’ve had limited experience with polenta and find it quite difficult to work with, but you’ve inspired me to give it another go, thanks.
