Ingredients

  • 270g chickpeas
  • 340g polenta
  • 80g tenderstem broccoli
  • 80g green beans
  • 10g butter
  • 9g garlic
  • 10g lemon juice
  • chopped parsley
  • 10g butter
  • 10g parmesan
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the tenderstem 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

    Pat the chickpeas dry and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until crisp, tossing halfway.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter with the garlic over a gentle heat for 1 minute, then spoon the foaming garlic butter over the protein and finish with lemon.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the tenderstem 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 chickpea, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the butter, parmesan for extra energy-dense calories.
