For the mushrooms

Instructions
- 1
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper. Bring 3 cups water and 1 cup chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the cornmeal in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Cook the polenta, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and holds its shape when a spoonful is dropped back in, about 15–18 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, and 1/2 tsp salt until fully incorporated.
