- In a medium saucepan, stir together ½ cup water + 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, salt and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil.

- Add the polenta to the boiling liquid and stir to combine, then lower the heat to medium and cook until the polenta is al dente, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves if desired. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the Parmesan and the black pepper. Top with the crispy mushrooms, a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining Parmesan and the parsley.
