Polenta
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock, preferably homemade
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
- 2 tbsps Della Terra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Bring the stock to a simmer in a heavy 6+ quart pot. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal. Cook on low, stirring frequently, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Wild Mushroom Ragout
- 3 c. assorted mushrooms (oyster, shitake, cremini, etc.) wiped clean, tough stems removed

- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock

While the polenta is cooking, heat extra virgin over medium-high in a large 12" saute pan. Add clean, dry mushrooms to the pan. Cook until mushrooms caramelize and become crusty golden-brown. Add the shallot, and sauté for two minutes, add garlic and sauté for a minute. Add wine and cook scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and reduce by half. Add the stock and cook until reduced by half. Taste and adjust with salt and fresh pepper if desired.
