These mushrooms go well with the creamy Parmesan polenta, making a fine vegetarian meal.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 4 medium portabella mushrooms (3/4 lb), stems finely chopped
- 3 canned plum tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and lightly brown bread crumbs, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion, stirring, until tender. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Add chopped mushroom stems and salt and pepper to taste and sauté, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes.
