50 Recipes: #5, Polenta and mushroom patties

[nonelvis]

We had some leftover polenta from Saturday night, so I sautéed some mushrooms with a shallot and fresh parsley, oregano, and thyme, and mixed it all together with an egg. I should have added a binder -- the mixture was a little too soft when I formed it into patties for frying -- but it was still very tasty. Served with a quick puttanesca sauce made with a couple of cans of tomato sauce and chopped carrot, capers, and garlic, and a spinach salad on the side.
