½ lb. mushrooms; shitake, oyster, portobello or button
1 cup plus 1 tsp. olive oil
½ cup Marsala wine
¾ cup cornmeal
4 cups water
2 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
2 pinches salt

* Directions:
To prepare the mushrooms, remove any hard or dirty stems. Cut into
thin strips then cut across into diced pieces. Sauté lightly in ½
teaspoon of the olive oil. Add Marsala wine and cook until all
liquid has evaporated. Meanwhile, wilt spinach in a small amount of
water and lightly sauté with ½ teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of
salt. Bring water to boil and slowly whisk in cornmeal. Add 1 cup
olive oil, Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 10
minutes. Gently stir in sauteed mushrooms, pour into lightly
greased (with margarine) ramekins (or cups). Let polenta set a few
minutes to firm up. To serve, arrange spinach on plate. If
necessary, warm polenta in warm water. Using a knife, loosen
polenta from sides and invert onto plate on top of spinach.
