Grilled Polenta with Mushrooms and Sausage

I had left over polenta and decided since we were having grill night we might as well use it up.  We threw them on the grill with some steak and topped it with a mushroom mixture that I had made in the skillet earlier.  It is some times difficult to figure out timing when you grill especially being in an apartment where you have to run back every time you need something.  So I had sauteed the mushrooms and then wrapped them in foil to heat on the grill right before the steaks and polenta were finished.  It worked out great and might be the easiest side dish EVER!

4 oz mushrooms
1/8 tsp of oregano
5 slices of polenta
1/2 sausage (removed from casing and broken up - I used a feta spinach sausage from Whole Foods)
olive oil

On a grill save skillet, coat pan with olive oil.  place polenta slices on the pan and set aside.  In a skillet, heat a tiny bit of olive oil and throw in mushrooms.  Remove sausage from casing and breakup into little pieces before adding to the skillet.  When mushrooms start to release the moisture and soften toss in the oregano and mix well.  Once mushroom mixture and sausage is fully cooked, place in some aluminum foil. 

Heat grill.  Grill the polenta on each side until done (approximately 5 minutes). 

Set aside on the grill and keep warm until other items (we had steak) are done. Sit back and enjoy a glass of wine while the rest of the items cook.

When there is a couple minutes left, throw the aluminum foil with mushroom mixture on the grill to heat up.  Serve the mushroom mixture on top of the grilled polenta.
