2 cloves garlic thinly sliced or minced
2 c sliced mushrooms
2 slices of crispy cooked bacon or prosciutto, chopped (optional)
2 c fresh arugula (1 handful per person)

4-6 tbsp chile paste (such as Sambal Olek)
NOOC Cayenne Fused Chile Oil for drizzling
Toasted sesame seeds
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Directions
Sauté sliced red onion and mushrooms in 2 tbsp EVOO over med heat until soft, add thinly sliced garlic (and diced cooked crispy bacon or prosciutto if desired) and sauté for another minute or two, keep warm. Cook polenta according to cornmeal package instructions (it should be creamy, add more water if necessary to achieve desired texture). When done, stir in grated Parmesan and 2 tbsp NOOC EVOO, add salt & pepper to taste. Pour polenta into a bowl, top with a poached, basted or fried egg, mushroom/onion mixture, arugula, toasted sesame seeds and Chile paste. Drizzle with Cayenne Fused Chile Olive Oil.
