Wild Mushroom Ragout Over Creamy Polenta image

We recommend serving this dish with a crumbling of gorgonzola cheese as a first course; it would also make a wonderful light supper for four.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces yellow oyster mushrooms, cut into large pieces
2 ounces oyster mushrooms, cut into large pieces
2 ounces hen-of-the-woods mushrooms
2 ounces honey mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 fresh sprig rosemary, chopped
1/4 cup Cognac
Polenta and Gorgonzola

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, soak the dried porcini in 1 cup warm water until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove, squeeze gently, and chop coarsely. Discard water, and set mushrooms aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until slightly soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add porcini, and saute 1 minute. Add cremini, and cook 1 minute more. Turn up heat to medium high, and add remaining mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chopped rosemary, and stir gently until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and carefully add Cognac (you'll have some flames). Return pan to heat, and allow the alcohol to cook off, about 1 minute. Serve hot over creamy polenta.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I might try using a lighter cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta turned out lumpy. I'll have to try again.

The polenta was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more liquid next time.
