Print All Quick Tips

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (17 ounces) prepared polenta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1½ cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Regular Flavor Pork Sausage Roll, cooked, crumbled, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves (optional)
  • ¾ cup crumble feta or goat cheese
  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

1. Slice ends off polenta; discard. Cut remaining polenta into 12 slices.

2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add polenta slices, in batches; cook 14-16 minutes or until golden brown, turning after 8 minutes. Remove from skillet; drain on paper towels.

3. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook 5 minutes or until onions are tender. Stir in broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 8-10 minutes or until broth is reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in sausage and sage, if desired.

4. Arrange 2 polenta slices on each of 6 serving plates. Top with sausage mixture, cheese and pecans.

Cook’s Tips: To toast pecans, spread nuts in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5-7 min. or until lightly toasted. Customize this dish by using your favorite fresh mushrooms, such as button, baby portobello or shiitake.
