  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • A handful of fresh basil, roughly chopped

Polenta:

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup Polenta
  • 4 tablespoons non-dairy butter
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or if not vegan, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Portobello Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Heat olive oil in cast iron or other oven safe pan.
  3. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften.
  4. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes.
  5. Add tomato paste, red pepper, oregano, basil, and salt and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tomato paste begins to darken to a brick color.
  6. Add red wine and stir well.
  7. Spread tomatoes evenly in pan.
  8. Top with portobello mushroom caps. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  9. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes until mushrooms are cooked through and tomatoes have burst and reduced to a thick sauce.
  10. While the mushrooms and tomatoes are roasting, begin with the polenta.

Polenta

  1. Combine water, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
  2. Slowly pour in polenta and whisk to combine. Reduce heat to low and whisk for 3-4 minutes until beginning to thicken.
  3. Cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once cooked through, add non-dairy butter and nutritional yeast and stir to combine until butter has melted.
  5. Serve polenta topped with tomato sauce, portobello mushroom, and fresh basil.

Notes

If you don’t have polenta, this would also be delicious served over pasta, orzo, pasta, or with crusty bread!

If you don’t have an oven safe pan, complete steps 1-6 with the pan you have and then poor mixture into oven safe pan such as a casserole dish and complete the steps from there.
