• 1 Tbsp olive oil Pepper and nutmeg, to taste

• 1 cup quick cooking polenta

Directions:

1. In a small pot combine milk, broth, olive oil and spices and bring to a boil. Take off the heat and vigorously whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and add the pot back on. Continue stirring until the polenta thickens. Cover and set aside.

Ingredients for the Mushrooms:

2. Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Add the polenta to the pan, forming four round cakes. Use a large pastry ring or cookie cutter for a neater presentation. Fry for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
