Dried Thyme0.5 tsp
Bay Leaf0.5 leaf

Instructions

1
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the mushrooms.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5
Stir in the sliced mushrooms, canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper.

Bring the ragu to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it gently simmer while you prepare the polenta (about 10 minutes).
7
While the ragu simmers, bring 600ml (for 2 people) of water or vegetable broth to a boil in a separate pot. Slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Reduce heat to low and continue to stir occasionally for 5-7 minutes, until the polenta is thick and creamy. If it becomes too thick, add a splash more hot water or broth.

Remove the bay leaf from the ragu. Serve the hot ragu over the creamy polenta.
