In the kitchen 8 steps
- Soak the dried porcini mushrooms (20 g) in hot water (200 ml) for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the water (600 ml) to a boil in a saucepan with a pinch of salt.
- Pour in the polenta (120 g) in a steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then cook over low heat for the time stated on the packet, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon: it should remain soft.
- Drain the porcini, reserving their soaking water, squeeze them dry and roughly chop them.
- In a small frying pan, sauté the chopped garlic (1 clove) in the olive oil (4 tbsp) for 1 minute, add the porcini and fry for 3 minutes. Add a spoonful of their strained soaking water, season with salt and pepper.
- If the polenta has thickened, loosen it with a little hot water: it should slowly run off the spoon.
- Divide the hot polenta between small glasses or serving cups and place the porcini on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley (½ bunch), add a few drops of truffle oil (10 ml) and serve immediately with small spoons.
Tip: Add the truffle oil at the very last moment, never during cooking: heat makes its aroma disappear.
