mushroom polenta bake
(as requested by angharad: modified from the Moosewood Low Fat Favorites cookbook).
3 cups water, divided
2 cups cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
6-8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 head greens, washed and chopped (I usually use kale, but you can use whatever).
a few shakes worcestershire sauce
a few shakes soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan and/or smoked gouda cheese to taste
Preheat oven to 350F.
Boil 2 cups water with the 1/2 tsp salt. While that's happening, mix the remaining cup water with the cornmeal. Add cornmeal and water mixture to the water when boiling; cook until thickened. Pour polenta into a pan (I use an 8" square pan).
Meanwhile, saute onions in olive oil (or olive oil and butter) until golden, then add mushrooms, soy sauce and worchestershire sauce. Saute until mushrooms give up their liquid. Add the greens and a small amount of water; stir and cover for 5 minutes, allowing the greens to steam. Top polenta with greens mixture; add salt and pepper to taste if needed, and top with cheese.
Bake at 350F for 10 minutes until cheese melts.
