Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons butter, salted
3/4 cup cornmeal (regular)
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomato (in oil, drained)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Wild Mushroom Saute, recipe follows
Locatelli Fondue, recipe follows
Chopped chives, for garnish
White truffle, sliced thin, for garnish
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 shallots, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
8 medium button mushrooms, sliced thinly
5 medium shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
Handful small oyster mushrooms, sliced thinly
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 shallot, chopped finely
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup white wine (Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons roux (flour-butter mixture)
1/4 cup grated Locatelli or other Pecorino Romano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
White truffle oil, optional

Steps:

  • Bring broth, milk, garlic, and butter to a boil in a thick bottomed pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and whisk in cornmeal, cooking while stirring with wooden spoon for about ten minutes. As it thickens reduce heat and add sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan. Remove from heat and add basil. Quickly spread on a cookie sheet to 1/3-inch thickness and refrigerate. Polenta should remain in refrigeration at least 1 hour, or as long as 3 days prior to final preparation. (Once cool, it should be covered for safe storage.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove polenta from the refrigerator and cut out rounds with cookie cutter about 1 1/2-inches. Saute polenta rounds in nonstick pan until brown on both sides. Remove from heat. Lay polenta rounds on cookie sheet and top with Wild Mushroom Saute. Bake for 5 minutes, (heat fondue in saucepot or microwave and stir in truffle oil if desired) Drizzle with Locatelli Fondue. Garnish with chives and white truffle slice.
  • Heat saute pan and add butter, shallot and garlic, cook 1 minute and add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Continue cooking about 2 minutes, remove from heat, and allow to cool. White mushrooms can be used if others are not available.
  • Saute shallot in butter in heavy bottomed pot for 1 minute, add white wine, and reduce by half. Add chicken broth and cream and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes, (too high a heat, will result in a boil over mess!!!) Add roux, whisking constantly so not to lump. As sauce thickens reduce heat and simmer 5 more minutes. Remove sauce from heat and stir in the Locatelli until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold in white truffle oil, if desired. Put Fondue in squeeze bottle or resealable plastic bag with corner cut off, for easy drizzling.

This dish was a bit too complicated for my taste. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I found the instructions to be a bit difficult to follow. The end result was good, but I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta turned out grainy and lumpy. The mushrooms and Locatelli fondue were good, but the polenta was a disappointment.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The polenta was very heavy and the Locatelli fondue was very cheesy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The polenta was a bit bland for my taste, but the mushrooms and Locatelli fondue were delicious. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices to the polenta next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated for my taste. There were a lot of steps involved and it took me longer to make than I expected. The end result was good, but not worth the effort in my opinion.
