Ingredients

500ml vegetable stock

4 tablespoons olive oil

350g mixed mushrooms, thickly sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon chopped tarragon

1 tablespoon chopped thyme

80g De Gustibus polenta

30g butter

50g parmesan, grated, plus extra for serving

50g vintage cheddar cheese, grated

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chervil, finely chopped

Method

Bring stock to the boil in a large saucepan

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add mushrooms and fry for 2-3 mins until just cooked and golden-brown. Add garlic and cook for 1 min before adding tarragon and thyme. Season to taste. Reduce heat to low and keep mushrooms warm

Slowly stir polenta into boiling stock, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. The polenta is done when it leaves the sides of the pan but is still runny, about 3 mins. Add butter and stir to combine. Add parmesan, cheddar, rosemary and half of the chervil, season to taste and stir to combine

Serve polenta divided between 2 warmed plates. Top with mushrooms and their juices, sprinkle with remaining parmesan and chervil
