Ingredients

• Polenta:
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup quick-cooking polenta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup grated romano cheese or 1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• Fricassee:
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 portabella mushroom caps, halved and thinly sliced
• 16 fresh shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a covered saucepan.
