Method
- Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a pan. Tip in instant polenta and simmer gently, stirring, until thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and stir in butter and Parmesan. Cover and set aside.
- Preheat the grill, then place the portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet, rounded side up, drizzle with olive oil and grill for 5 minutes. Turn over and grill for a further minute.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a low heat and cook shallots, and 2 garlic cloves. Add white wine and simmer rapidly until reduced by half. Add soft cheese and melt to form a creamy sauce. Thin the sauce with milk.
