Parmesan-crusted Polenta with Sausage over mushroom Ragout Recipe
The broiled disks of polenta in this dish bring to mind an extra-delicious version of johnnycakes, topped with a hearty, savory ragout that's ready before you know it.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds precooked polenta (in a tube), cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) rounds
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1/2 pound mixed sliced fresh wild mushrooms
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1 1/2 cups bottled marinara sauce
- Accompaniment: grated parmesan
Directions
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil polenta rounds on a lightly oiled large heavy baking sheet 3 to 4 inches from heat until lightly browned in spots, about 7 minutes. Turn rounds over and sprinkle with cheese, then broil until polenta is golden in spots and cheese is melted, about 7 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it shimmers, then cook sausage, breaking up lumps, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Stir in sausage and tomato sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Season with salt.
- Serve ragout spooned over polenta.
