Recipe: Morel Mushroom Polenta




Amount Ingredient
1/4  Cup(s)  butter 
Tablespoon(s)  olive oil 
  shallots, diced 
Ounce(s)  *dried morel mushrooms, reconstituted 
2 1/2  Cup(s)  milk 
3/4  Cup(s)  polenta 
  *dried chile, crushed 
1/4  Cup(s)  romano cheese, grated 
    salt and pepper to taste 

    Directions:

    In a frying pan heat the olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and saute the shallots for 3 minutes. Add the morels and cook for 3 more minutes. Set aside. In a thick bottom saucepan heat the milk, slowly so as not to scald it. Slowly pour in the polenta whisking constantly with a wire whisk. Sprinkle the chile pepper into the mixture and cook until it becomes thick and bubbles, 20-25 minutes. Pour the mushroom mixture and stir well, remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into a buttered bread pan and refrigerate for one hour. The polenta will set up rather firmly. Cut the polenta into slices one inch thick and place on a non-stick baking dish. Melt the remaining butter and drizzle on top of the polenta, then sprinkle with romano cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375.
