Name: Polenta Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients: 1/2 c Milk; plus; 3 tb Milk; 1/4 ts Kosher salt; 1 1/2 ts Fresh thyme; 1/4 c Quick-cooking polenta; 1 oz Pecorino-Romano cheese; grated on small; Holes of a box grater to yield 1/2 cup; 1 tb Unsalted butter; 1 Recipe Golden Mushroom Caps; (see recipe)

The prosperity message unashamedly calls people to place their hope in the passing pleasures of this world. Rather than denouncing wrong desires, it glorifies worldly lifestyles, feeds on sinful greed, and makes poppycock promises to desperate people: “Get right with the Lord and He will give you a well-paid job, a nice house and a new car.” The prosperity gospel is more morally reprehensible than a Las Vegas casino because it masquerades as religion and comes in the name of Christ. But like the casinos, it attracts its victims with glitzy showmanship and the allure of instant riches. After devouring their last cent, like a spiritual slot machine, it sends them home worse off than when they came.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oven to broil with the rack in the upper position. Meanwhile,
place 1/2 cup of the milk, 1/2 cup of water, the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of
the thyme in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Slowly pour in the
polenta, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes, until the
polenta thickens. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese, the
remaining milk, and the butter.
Using a small spoon, quickly spoon the polenta into the mushroom caps.
Garnish each cap with the remaining cheese. Place the caps on a baking
sheet. Broil until the cheese is golden, about 1 minute. Garnish with the
remaining thyme. Serve hot.
Makes 2 dozen.
Comments: Pecorino-Romano is an aged Italian sheep's-milk cheese with a
sharp, intense flavor. It is worth searching out this cheese, but if you
can't locate it, you can use Parmesan cheese.
