Preparations:
Cut Asparagus into 1" long strips and cut mushrooms into 1/4"slices.  Sauté Asparagus, mushrooms, rosemary, salt & pepper in olive oil over medium heat.

Sliced pre-made polenta into 1/2" think rounds.  Grill in a pan with a little olive oil. 4-5 mins/side or until golden brown.  Remove from heat and place on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
