Ragout gets a vegetarian spin with the addition of meaty mushrooms and fresh parsnips.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add onion and saute for 2-3 or until onion is tender. Add garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 more minute until garlic is fragrant.
Throw your parsnips into the mix and cook for 3-5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and 1 more tbsp oil. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and have released much of their liquid.
Add tomato paste and miso to the pan, stirring to coat everything. Cook until the tomato paste caramelizes then add the cornstarch and stir well.
Finally, pour in the wine and use this liquid to scrape the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan. Add water and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Heat the milk in a large saucepan until simmering. Add polenta and cook according to package instructions.
Once the polenta is cooked, stir in cheese, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning where needed.
Spoon creamy polenta into the bottom of a bowl. Top with the savory mushroom ragout, parmesan, and chopped hazelnuts.
Enjoy :)
