Ingredients

  • 135g seitan
  • 340g polenta
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 200g chopped tomatoes
  • 9g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 50g mozzarella
  • 10g olive oil
  • 8g parmesan

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and mushrooms, 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

    Slice the seitan thinly and stir-fry over high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned.

  4. 4

    Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and seitan, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.

  7. 7

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