Ingredients
-
½ ounce dried mushrooms (such as porcini)
-
1 cup hot water, or as needed
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 yellow onion, minced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
-
1 pinch ground cloves
-
2 pounds assorted fresh mushrooms, cut into bite size pieces
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 ½ pounds tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and chopped
-
1 quart vegetable stock, or as needed
-
8 ounces instant polenta
-
4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, or as desired
Directions
-
Place dried mushrooms in a small bowl with enough hot water to cover; let stand 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms; reserve liquid.
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in garlic, thyme, and cloves; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir fresh mushrooms and soaked dried mushrooms into onion mixture; cook and stir until mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Stir tomatoes and reserved mushroom liquid into mushroom mixture; simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes.
-
Bring vegetable stock to a boil; whisk in polenta. Cook polenta, whisking constantly, until polenta is thick and stock is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Divide polenta into 4 bowls; ladle mushroom stew over polenta and garnish with fresh parsley.
Cook’s Note
You can stir a small handful of fresh herbs into the polenta after cooking if desired.
