I am more of a savory girl than a sweet one…from everything to my food preferences to my attitude. However, this combination of slightly-sweet pineapple with the subtleness of white beans makes this dish irrestible.
I love the colors in this recipe and the flavors all harmoniously meld together.
When cleaning out your Portobello mushrooms, remove the stem by gently turning it and carefully remove the black gills using a spoon. Be gentle because the mushroom can easily break apart. You can reserve the stems and use them in soups or stocks but may want to discard after cooking and before eating because they are somewhat chewy…and not in a good way.
ENJOY!
Polenta is a great staple to have in the pantry and on hand for a variety of uses. I really like the basil variety because it gives the cornmeal a bit more flavor.
If you prefer a blander version you can also opt for the vegan Kite Hill Plain Cream Cheese.
ENJOY!
