Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, in batches, for 10 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 2 of 4

Reserve a few sprigs of thyme to serve. Remove leaves from remaining thyme. Add onion, garlic and thyme leaves to pan and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Return mushrooms to pan. Stir in tomato and paste and simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced slightly. Stir in beans and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.

Step 3 of 4

Add milk and 2 cups water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly sprinkle polenta into liquid while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes or until thick and bubbling. Stir in butter and three-quarters of the parmesan until melted.

Step 4 of 4

Spoon polenta among plates. Top with bean mixture. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and thyme. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. Serve.
