Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 oz (about 2 tbsp) dried porcini mushrooms
1 or 2 packages (about 2 lb. total) cooked polenta, plain or seasoned
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes with basil
1/4 cup dry red wine such as zinfandel or pinot noir
1 tbsp minced fresh basil leaves
1/2 lb jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a bowl, combine mushrooms and 1/2 cup boiling water and let stand until limp, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the polenta crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Divide slices among 4 shallow 2-cup gratin dishes or ramekins. Bake in a 450° oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
As polenta bakes, rub mushrooms gently to release grit, then lift from water, squeeze dry, and finely chop. Reserve liquid.
Put mushrooms in a 10- to 12-inch frying pan. Pour in most of the soaking liquid, discarding the gritty remainder. Add tomatoes, wine, and basil. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Remove polenta from oven and spoon sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle with jack and parmesan cheeses.
Broil 6 inches from heat until cheeses begin to brown, about 6 minutes.
