Lentils and Mushrooms over Creamy Polenta and Quick Pickled Onions by @mollyjean4

This polenta dish is the ultimate pantry raid. Creamy polenta topped with tender lentils, crispy mushrooms and a pop from pickled red onions utilizes all of the staple ingredients you probably already have. Pro Tip: place leftover polenta in a container and let set in the fridge. It will form a block that can be sliced, fried up and served alongside a fried egg for the perfect breakfast.
