Method

  1. Make up the polenta according to pack instructions then beat in the cheese with half the butter and season really well. You want it quite soft and unctuous.
  2. Melt the rest of the butter in a pan and cook the mushrooms until golden, add the sage and stir. Serve the polenta topped with the mushroom mix and some extra parmesan shavings if you like.

    This was gorgeous...some mushrooms can be quite expensive so I used a base of button mushrooms as they are cheapest and then added some posher more expensive varieties for flavour
