Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Hello, I'm Chef Wood. Ask me anything about this recipe, whenever you like. Press play, or say “next”, and I'll read you the steps one at a time.
Chef Wood answers only when you ask, so take all the time you need. His answers come from AI and are general cooking guidance.
- In a nonstick skillet heat the olive oil, then add the sliced mushrooms and salt. About 5 minutes later after the mushrooms have softened add the balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook till done. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the nonfat vegetarian chicken broth and when it starts to simmer add the salt and instant polenta. Stir continuously until thickened and it pulls away from the sides of the pot, this should take about 5 minutes for it to be done.
- Serve: Put into warmed bowls the polenta and top with the mushrooms.
- Variation: When you cook the mushrooms you can also add thin slices of yellow onions. Variation: When you cook the polenta you could add 1 C canned, drained corn kernels just before you add in the polenta to the chicken broth.
- This was very good and quick to put together. I would not hesitate to serve the original or either (or a combo of both variations) to company.
