water

polenta

cream

tbsp butter

butter

kg (2lbs) mushrooms (sliced

garlic

thyme

red wine

tomato passata

tomato paste

soy sauce

cream ((optional))

salt and pepper (to taste

To make the polenta, bring salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk in the polenta and continue whisking until it starts to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow to cook for 10 minutes then stir in the cream and butter and cook for another 10 minutes on low. Turn off the heat and allow to steam for anything from 5-30 minutes. Before serving, stir one final time and add more butter if preferred. 

In a large, deep pan, cook sliced mushrooms with garlic and thyme until the mushroom liquid has reduced and the mushrooms start to brown. 

Pour the red wine into the pan and allow to reduce by half before adding the tomato passata and paste.

Pour in the soy sauce and season to taste then allow to simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.

Add the cream, if using, and allow to simmer for another minute or two. 

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary then serve the ragout over creamy polenta.

Mushroom Ragout

mushrooms ((about 1.5 oz))

extra virgin olive oil

garlic ((minced

onion ((or two shallots, finely chopped))

cremini mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms

rosemary ((finely chopped. Substitute with 1 tsp dried rosemary))

amaretto liqueur ((or ¼ cup white wine))

tbsp unbleached all purpose flour ((or gluten-free flour))

parsley

Salt and black pepper

Soak mushrooms in 2 cups boiling water for 30 minutes to reconstitute them. Strain out the mushrooms and reserve the stock for use later.

Reconstitute the dried mushrooms

Place olive oil in a pot or Dutch oven and add garlic. Turn on heat to medium and saute the garlic until it begins to color lightly.

Add onions to the pot along with some salt and ground black pepper. Saute until the onions are softened, 2-3 minutes.

Add the reconstituted, dried mushrooms to the pot and saute a couple of minutes.

Stir in the fresh mushrooms and mix well. Mix in the herbs and the liqueur or wine. Cook a couple of minutes until the alcohol has evaporated, leaving only flavor behind.

Add flour to the pot and mix until the flour is absorbed into the vegetables and there is no visible flour. Add the stock from the reconstituted mushrooms to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender.

Stir in the vegan butter, add more salt and ground black pepper to taste, and turn off heat. Garnish the ragout with parsley before serving.

Make the mushroom ragout

Made this for dinner yesterday, and there were no leftovers. It was just my husband and me but we LOVED it! Thanks for another fantastic recipe, Vaishali!!!

This is SO delicious!  I wonder how it would freeze.  Has anyone tried cooking up a big batch and freezing?
