Get your cornmeal out from the back of the cabinet and put it to use in a warm mushroom polenta. This recipe sticks to a few simple ingredients including onion, dried mushrooms (of course!) and butter. Best of all, all you have to do is boil some water and cook your ingredients for 10 minutes. Serve it like a porridge, or let it cool and solidify into a loaf. This Italian stable makes for a great side with sweet or savory dishes.
