Blue Cheese Polenta with Balsamic Mushrooms

Recipe found on Taste.com.au in my search for Low GI recipes. Tried it out and it was really good. I adjusted some of the quantities to my taste (I'm a big garlic & cheese lover), so feel free to reduce the garlic or blue cheese as it might be a bit much for some. However if you're a fan, like me, this will definitely hit the spot. The combination of flavours (cheesy polenta with sweetish mushrooms) is amazing.

Serves 2

375 ml chicken stock
250 ml
low-fat milk
110 g instant polenta

50 g blue cheese
15 ml
olive oil
250 g
button mushroom, halved
3
garlic clove, crushed
1 sprig
fresh thyme
30 ml balsamic glaze

100 g rocket (aragula)
salt and pepper, to taste


Directions

1. Place the stock and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Gradually add the polenta in a thin steady stream, stirring constantly until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 - 7 minutes or until polenta thickens. Stir in gorgonzola or blue cheese and season with with salt & pepper.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 - 7 minutes or until golden.

3. Add the garlic and thyme to the frying pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until aromatic. Add balsamic glaze and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

4. Divide the polenta among serving plates. Top with the mushroom mixture and scatter with the rocket leaves. Serve immediately.
