Hearty Mushroom Ragu with Creamy Polenta
A comforting, savory ragu loaded with earthy mushrooms, protein-rich crumbled tempeh, and creamy white beans, simmered with aromatic onions, garlic, and a rich tomato paste blend. Served atop silky, creamy polenta, this dish offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures for a nourishing meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Tempeh
150 g Mixed Mushrooms
1/2 cup White Beans (canned, low sodium, drained)
1 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
40 g Dry Polenta
PREPARATION
Crumb the tempeh into small pieces and set aside. Rinse and slice the mushrooms, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the crumbled tempeh and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tempeh is lightly browned.
Stir in the tomato paste and vegetable broth. Add the white beans and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme or rosemary if desired.
While the ragu simmers, prepare the polenta. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot. Slowly whisk in the dry polenta and reduce heat to low, stirring frequently to avoid lumps. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until thick and creamy.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of creamy polenta into a bowl and top with the hearty mushroom ragu. Garnish with fresh herbs if available and enjoy while warm.
