Preparation
STEP 1
Prepare the polenta according to the package directions; as soon as it’s cooked, transfer to a greased baking sheet, level it with a spoon and allow to cool. In the meantime, prepare the Grana Padano Riserva sauce by bringing the milk to a boil, then remove from heat and add the grated Grana Padano Riserva, stirring well with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Use a pastry ring to cut the polenta into circles and fry them in plenty of oil, then drain the excess oil.
STEP 2
Arrange the fried polenta discs on a serving platter, topping each with a spoon of Grana Padano Riserva sauce and sliced mushrooms. Serve the fried polenta garnished with chives, shavings of Grana Padano and freshly ground pepper.
