How to make it

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring the plant milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 7 minutes until the polenta is thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    While the polenta cooks, heat a splash of oil (not counted) in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for another minute until fragrant. Make sure not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Stir the nutritional yeast into the cooked polenta until well combined and the polenta tastes savory and cheesy. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

  5. 5

    Divide the creamy polenta between two bowls and top generously with the sautéed garlic mushrooms. Enjoy your delicious and comforting meal right away.
