Sauteed Mushrooms over Polenta

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 pound whole shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
• 1/2 pound whole cremini mushrooms, cleaned
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• Fresh herbs
• Creamy Polenta, as accompaniment

Directions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. When the olive oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute until they begin to release their liquid, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve over creamy polenta.
