Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 160g polenta
  • 80g peas
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peas and cherry tomatoes, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk the polenta into simmering stock and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Lower the eggs into boiling water and cook for 6½ minutes, then cool in cold water and peel.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peas and cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and soft-boiled egg, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
