1. 1

   Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and courgette, 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

   Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

4. 4

   Finely chop the herbs and mix with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and chilli flakes. Spoon the chimichurri over the sliced protein.

5. 5

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

6. 6

   Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the red onion.

7. 7

   Bulking upgrade: add the olive oil, avocado for extra energy-dense calories.
