Spiced Crimini Mushroom Stew over Creamy Polenta
I was in a mood for stew, but what I really had craving for was polenta.
When I had grits at this restaurant, I realized how much I loved this type of food.
Well I love rice porridge, and when you think about it, it’s not a surprise that I’m drawn to polenta and grits.
I enjoyed the polenta for dinner so much tonight that I’m thinking of having a polenta breakfast tomorrow!

きのこシチューポレンタがけ
クレミニマッシュルームというきのこをたっぷり入れて、さらにちょっぴりスパイスをきかせたシチュー。
シチューを食べたかったのはもともとですが、
今回の第一目的は、シチューをかけてあるポレンタ。
ポレンタとは、コーンミールを粥状に調理したイタリア料理、
もともと普通のお粥も大好きなので、このイタリアバージョンのお粥も好きなんですよね～。
あんまり気に入ってしまったので、明日の朝食もポレンタにしようかな、と思ってま～す！
