Ingredients

Polenta

  • 1 cup Polenta
  • 3/4 cup Coconut Milk full-fat
  • 1 1/4 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 2-3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast Flakes

Mushroom & Spinach Topping

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 7 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1-2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 cups Spinach roughly chopped
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp Pine Nuts

Instructions

Polenta

  • Bring coconut milk and vegetable broth to a boil in a pot. Stir in polenta by using a whisk.
  • Reduce heat to a low simmer and continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes to avoid lumps.
  • Then cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes (or according packaging instructions*), stirring occasionally. (If the polenta thickens too much you can add additional milk and/or water and stir to thin.)
  • Once the Polenta is creamy and smooth, remove from the stovetop. Add nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan and stir (optional).

Mushroom & Spinach Topping

  • Heat oil in a skillet or pan. Add mushrooms along with onions and fry for about 3 minutes on high heat or until beginning to get golden-brown.
  • Add minced garlic and roast for 30 seconds longer. Then add soy sauce and spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of fresh lime juice, if you like.
  • Toast pine nuts in a small pan without oil until lightly browned.
  • Serve polenta with mushrooms, spinach and pine nuts.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make it even simpler and creamier, you can use finely ground polenta, that takes only 2 minutes to cook. If using regular yellow corn grits please read the cooking time stated on the package. Otherwise you could also use cornmeal.
  • Instead of coconut milk you can add any plant-based milk. Add 1 tbsp vegan butter, if using low-fat milk.
