Instructions

  1. 1Bring the vegetable stock to a boil in a pot. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the cornmeal to prevent lumps from forming.
  2. 2Reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the polenta for about 15–20 minutes (or according to the package instructions), stirring occasionally. At the end, stir in the nutritional yeast and olive oil.
  3. 3While the polenta is cooking, clean the mushrooms and slice them. Cut the smoked tofu into small cubes.
  4. 4Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the mushrooms over high heat until golden brown. Add the tofu and fry for another 5 minutes.
  5. 5Add the garlic, thyme and pepper. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, pour in the tamari sauce and cook for another minute to let the flavors combine.
  6. 6Divide the creamy polenta among plates, top with the mushroom and tofu mixture, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
