A classic dish for this season: Polenta with Mushrooms and Sausage, made using the microwave jar-cooking technique. I used instant polenta flour, which works especially well for this method.

To make this a complete meal, you can also prepare a mushroom ragù separately, also using the microwave jar-cooking method. (See my recipe for Mushroom and Sausage Ragù in a Jar on Cookpad.)

Steps

1

Add the olive oil, shallot, sausage, salt, pepper, mushrooms, and white wine to a microwave-safe jar.
2

Microwave uncovered for 2 minutes at 750 watts to sauté.
3

Add the polenta to the jar, then pour in the water. Stir well with a spoon.
4

Wipe the rim of the jar clean, then close it with the lid, gasket, and clamps.
5

Shake the jar to mix the polenta before cooking in the microwave at 750 watts for 3 minutes.
6

Remove the jar from the microwave and, using a kitchen towel, shake the jar again to mix the polenta. Then microwave for another 3 minutes at 350 watts. This allows the polenta to absorb the water and cook properly. Let it rest for 20 minutes to finish cooking.
7

You can enjoy it right away or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave for 3 minutes at 750 watts after removing the clamps.
8

You can top it with mushroom and sausage ragù—see my recipe here, also using the jar-cooking method: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/it/ricette/11254305-ragu-di-funghi-e-salsiccia-in-vasocottura-al-microonde?via=profile

If you're trying this recipe for the first time, I recommend reading my Cookpad post "Microwave Jar Cooking" for all the information you need to use this innovative method. http://bit.do/vasocottura
