Directions

1. Heat the sauté pan and add oil to coat the pan
2. When the oil, is hot add the mushrooms
3. Cook without stirring for 3-5 minutes or until caramelized on one side
4. Add shallots and stir
5. Add Porcini blend,thyme and salt
6. Cook until fragrant about 1 minute before adding wine
7. Make the polenta. In the other pot, combine milk, stock, and salt over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. When it simmers, add the polenta and whisk to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking every few minutes. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the pan so it does not stick. Cook until liquid is absorbed and polenta is creamy, about 20- 30 minutes total. Remove from heat and stir in the butter
8. Heat a couple bowls, reheat the mushrooms if needed and add polenta to the warm bowls followed by parsley, Parmesan and balsamic reduction. Enjoy!
