Ingredients

  • 270g lentils
  • 340g polenta
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g green beans
  • 10g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • 10g lemon juice
  • large handful of parsley & oregano, chilli flakes
  • 10g olive oil
  • 60g avocado
  • 15g red onion

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and green beans, 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

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  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 green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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