Instructions

1
Bring the vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan. While whisking constantly, gradually pour in the polenta to prevent lumps from forming.
2
Cook the polenta over low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the type), until it thickens. Finally, stir in the olive oil, nutritional yeast, and salt.
3
Immediately pour the cooked polenta into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it to a thickness of about 2 cm and let it cool and firm up slightly.
4
Meanwhile, in a pan, sauté the mushrooms in oil until they release their liquid and turn golden-brown. Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, stir in the spinach just until it wilts.
5
Cut the polenta in the baking dish into squares or triangles. Arrange the prepared mushrooms and spinach on top.
6
Bake in the oven at 200 °C for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges of the polenta turn golden and crispy.
