Mushroom Stoganoff (Linda McCartney) & Italian Polenta (Meatless Italian)

[Guest guest]

This was posted in by Denise.

 

From Linda McCartney's cookbook and the Meatless Italian book I

mentioned earlier.

 

To make the Polenta: (from meatless Italian)

2 c corn meal

2 c cold water

4 c veggie broth

 

Pour the corn meal into a medium size bowl and add the cold water,

stirring constantly. Break apart any lumps that form. Heat the veggie

broth to boiling in a 3 1/2 qt pot (or larger), then slowly add the

corn meal mush, stirring constantly. Again, break apart any lumps that

form. Using a wooden spoon works well. Turn heat down to medium low

and cook until the polenta is thickened and slowly falls off the spoon

about 15-25 minutes. Remove from heat and cover until ready to use.

 

Mushroom Stoganoff (Linda McCartney)

 

1 onion, diced (I used red)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 T butter

1 lb mushrooms (I used portabellas, some sliced, some whole which I diced)

1 t paprika

1 c sour cream (I used half sour cream half plain yoghurt)

salt & pepper to taste

 

Melt butter in large saucepan and add onion. When just softened, add

the minced garlic, stir and cook for about another minute. Add the

mushrooms and cook down, larger pieces might take longer. I cooked

these for about 5-6 minutes. If there is an excess amount of liquid

pour off and reserve. Add the paprika to the mushrooms and stir to

incorporate. Remove from heat and add the sour cream. Stir to

completely cover. You can add back to heat, but don't let the mixture

boil.

 

Spoon the polenta (it is soft, like mashed potatoes) onto plates, make

an indentation and top with the Mushroom Stroganoff. Serve with

steamed broccoli or your favorite green vegetable.

 

This is very filling, high in protein and super high in the B vitamin

group.

 

Enjoy!
