2 tbsp garlic, chopped fine
2 oz dried porcini mushrooms, chopped coarse, rinsed and soaked in water 10 minutes
5 fl oz olive oil, divided
4 tsp fresh basil, chopped fine
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped fine
2 quarts vegetable stock
12 oz coarse polenta (or yellow cornmeal- about 1 1/2 cups)

2 cups heavy cream
4 oz aged asiago cheese, grated fine (or fontine about 1/2 cup)
