Vegusto specialities are versatile to be incorporated in many dishes: For this recipe the No-Moo Walnut is used to fill polenta dumplings and then served with the Vegan-Schnitzel, Pepper.

Preparation

Bring water and salt to the boil in a saucepan. Add polenta whisking continuously for 2-3 minutes or until very thick. Take of the heat and set aside.
Cut the No-Moo Walnut into 8 equal sized cubes.
Take the warm Polenta with your hands and form 8 dumplings. Separate each dumpling into 2 halves and place a piece of No-Moo into the middle. Close with the other half around filling and press together to form rounded dumplings.
Take 1 Tbsp of oil in hands and grease each ball with it.
Place polenta dumplings onto a lined baking tray. Bake in the middle of the oven at 230°C for 25 minutes until golden.
In the mean time heat 3 Tbsp oil in a saucepan and fry the Pepper-Schnitzel on each side. Set aside and keep warm.

Porcino sauce:
Soak porcino in warm water for 1 hour. Set aside soaking water for later.
Add oil to a sauce pan over medium heat and add the onion, garlic, sage and porcinos. Simmer for 10 minutes.
As it starts to stick to the pan, add 3-4 Tbsp of the soaking water from the mushrooms.
Add flour, stir to combine, then add 500 ml water to form a thick sauce.
Add the tomato paste, combine well and let simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve the Vegan-Schnitzel, Pepper with the polenta dumplings and the porcino dumplings.
Goes well with a green salad and/or mixed seasonal vegetables.
