Polenta bites with mushroom easy and delicious starter

POLENTA BITES WITH MUSHROOMS

These polenta bites with mushrooms are perfect if you will have a small party with your friends or with your family. They are so easy to prepare and so delicious. Note: For this recipe I use blue cheese but you can also use cream cheese or goat cheese. You can add or use less garlic in my case I use 5 garlic cloves. To wash the mushrooms you can also add them in 1 liter of water with 1/4 of lemon juice after removing the skin and then dry them with a napkin.



Ingredients:
For polenta:
Olive oil.
1 Cup of polenta.
4 Cups of water.
Salt to taste.
Pepper to taste.
1/2 Cup of parmesan cheese.
1 Tbsp of butter.
For Mushrooms:
500gr.of mushrooms.
Soy sauce.
Dry chives or dry epazote.
Parsley or Coriander.
To decorate:
Cream cheese, goat cheese, blue cheese or the cheese you love the most.
Balsamic vinegar.



How to prepare:
1. To prepare the polenta, if like me, you use instant polenta, this is the procedure. I put to heat in high flame 4 cups of water and add bit of olive oil and salt to taste. When start boil I reduce the heating to low flame and add slowly the polenta and I didnt stop stir. To prepare it takes to me from 5-7 min
2. Remove from heating and add 1/2 cup of parmesan, you can add more or less, it will depend of how much you love the cheese, add pepper to taste, bit more of salt, try first if is needed to add. add 1 tablespoon of butter.

6.In a pan add bit of olive oil and the add the garlic cloves finely chopped and when start smell without burn add the mushrooms and the soy sauce. Let them dry and when start to change the color add the dry chives or dry epazote. When almost ready and dry add the parsley.
7. If is ready the polenta after 1 hour on the refrigerator. Remove from the container and cut in squares or round, as your creativity told XD. Add bit of olive oil and bit of pepper and salt if you think is needed, so first try.
5. In a pan add the polenta and fry until golden  brown for both sides
