1 ounce Porcini, Dried
4 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 large Onion, Red Sliced
1 pound Mushrooms, Fresh, Chopped
3 small Tomatoes, Chopped
1 tablespoon Parsley
Seasoning
*** POLENTA ***
6 cup Water
2½ teaspoon Salt
2 cup Cornmeal, Ground
Olive Oil

Soak the porcini mushrooms in warm water to cover for at least 45 minutes. Carefully remove from liquid & rinse well under cold water. Chop roughly & pat dry. Heat olive oil in a heavy saute pot & saute onion until it is translucent & soft. Add the garlic & all the mushrooms. Reduce heat to low & cook, stirring intermittently, for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender. Add the tomatoes, parsley, salt & pepper & cook 5 minutes.

Polenta: bring the salted water to vigorous boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to low & slowly sprinkle in the cornmeal in a thin stream, first whisking it in & then stirring constantly being careful to eliminate any lumps. Keep the water at a steady simmer & stir frequently. When it comes away from the side of the pot, after 20 minutes, then it is cooked. Check for salt.

Allow to cool by pouring onto a baking sheet & patting until it is as smooth as possible. Cut the polenta into rectangular slices. Brush lightly with the olive oil. Broil until they are firm & lightly crisp on both sides. Place a spoonful of the hot mushroom sauce on the top of each crostini & serve. Can be served as an appetizer, as an antipasto, as a side dish or as a main dish.
