Polenta With Roasted Mushroom And Peas

I have travelled home last weekend to my parents, and I have planned a vegan deliciousness which is satisfying for even those (especially the guys) who consume meat in my family.

After taking stock of the available ingredients at home, I have found mushrooms, salad, paprika, nuts, grains, and a pack of peas in the fridge.

The result is today’s recipe which is easy to prep, decorative, and there’s no way of messin’ up!

Let’s go to the kitchen!

Ingredients
For the peas
  • 2 cup peas
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • thyme
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground pepper
For the roasted mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 0.5 pritamin pepper diced
  • 300 g mushrooms sliced
  • thyme
  • nutmeg
  • ground pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 50 g walnuts chopped
For the polenta
  • 500 ml Water
  • 3 pinch salt
  • 200 g ground corn (maize grits)
  • 1 clove garlic mashed
Instructions
  1. For the peas, put the peas in a large saucepan and cover with water, boil for 15-20 minutes. Add the salt, thyme, oil and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Add the mushrooms, pepper, nutmeg, thyme, and salt to taste. Fry for 3-4 minutes on a high heat. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce to a low heat and add the walnuts. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
  4. For the polenta, boil the water and salt in a large pan. Reduce to a low heat and add the maize (corn) grits, cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the garlic and stir well. Remove from heat.
  5. Fill a small bowl with the polenta. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to give the polenta time to take the shape of the bowl.
  6. Plate up the polenta by gently turning the bowl upside down. Be careful so the polenta keeps it’s shape!
  7. Top polenta with the mushrooms and peas, and serve.

Pro Tips

- Remember to watch your timing! You can make the mushroom mixture while the peas are boiling.

- Be sure to lower the heat before adding the walnuts to the mushroom mix–burned vegetable oils can contain dangerous carcinogens!

- Add the corn grits to the boiling water in small bits to avoid caking.

- Grease the bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil before filling it with polenta. This makes it easier to remove the polenta once it’s set.

Healthy and sound nutrition is a fundamental aspect of life quality, it is essential for a prolonged and active life. That was what I have learnt from my mother as a child, and still defines my daily life. I think veganism is one of the best choices to keep healthy, as long as you keep your dishes varied and balanced. By my recipes I support balanced diet, and deliver ideas for vegans and non- vegans alike. Just a quick glance on what to expect in the future: makeovers of regular dishes to vegan delicacies, traditional international dishes re-imagined in the vegan way, and desserts – because who doesn’t love desserts?! Peace on your plate!
