  Delicious - I made my own polenta and would happily have doubled the amount of mushrooms.

  Very tasty monday meal! made my own polenta as I never use shop brought polenta as it's horrible and rubbery! Added a handful of ready cooked chestnuts to the mushrooms which worked well with a side of garden grown herby salad leaves for a summery freshness.

  Interesting flavours and reasonably successful - although I had possibly hoped for more. The balsamic mixture just wouldn't thicken and become syrupy, no matter how long I cooked it. Thanks to Belkey for the note about the mushrooms... I used 2 x 250g packs of chestnut mushrooms, which made more realistic portions for us. I also doubled up the sauce - maybe it would have worked better if I had used only half as much again? Couldn't agree more with HitchinsDins about ready-made polenta. Dried polenta costs £0.79 for 500g, it's not difficult to make and it's much nicer than the horrible, smooth, plasticky pre-packed stuff. I couldn't get it to chargrill, though, even under a very hot grill. No matter, though... It tasted okay.
