INSTRUCTIONS

Place the cornmeal and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Gradually add
water, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Bring to a boil, and reduce
heat to medium. Cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon the polenta
into an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray, spreading
evenly. Press heavy-duty plastic wrap onto surface of polenta, and chill 2
hours or until firm.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme
sprigs, and rosemary sprig; cook 3 minutes or just until garlic begins to
brown. Stir in mushrooms and next 5 ingredients (mushrooms through pepper);
bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Add parsley; cook,
uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside, and keep warm.
Invert polenta onto a cutting board; cut crosswise into 12 slices. Place
slices on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes on each
side or until golden brown.
Arrange 2 polenta slices on each of 6 individual serving plates. Top each
with about 1/3 cup of mushroom sauce and 1-1/2 teaspoons of Parmesan
cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
