Steps:

• Cover the sun dried tomatoes with the boiling water in a non-reactive heatproof bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and saute the onions, 1/3 of the garlic, and 1/4 teaspoons salt for about 5 minutes, until the onions soften.
• Add 1/3 cup of the basil and the mushrooms, cover, and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Drain and mince the sun dried tomatoes, add them to the mushroom mixture, and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and another 1/3 of the garlic to a boil.
• Whisk in the cornmeal in a slow, steady stream, stirring rapidly to prevent lumps.
• Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, gently, for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the polenta is quite thick.

• Pour out into a large deep platter.
• In a separate large shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg whites and remainging 1/4 teaspoon salt until slightly frothy.
• Preheat the oven to 400*F.
• Cut the chilled polenta in half lengthwise, in thirds crosswise, and then cut each rectangular sixth in half on the diagonal.
• This mathmatical wizardry makes 12 triangular cutlets (they say trust us).
• Using a spatula, remove each triangle from the baking dish, dip it in the egg whites, and then thoroughly coat it with the bread crumb mixture.
• Place the breaded cutlets on a large very lightly oiled or sprayed baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
• With a metal spatula, carefully turn each cutlet over and bake for 10 minutes more, until golden brown.
• Enjoy!
• Note:.
• You may top each serving of cutlets with a tomato-wine sauce, savory onion marmalade, pesto, or sauce of your choice.
