Gluten-Free Polenta is a warming nutritious meal that hits all the right spots and is a crowd-pleaser for evening entertainment or just a quick wholesome meal. It also transports really well if you need to take a healthy lunch with you.

1 cup polenta

1/4 cup plant-based mylk

1 tbsp olive oil

1  handful fresh basil


Instructions

  • Put the water into a pot and bring to the boil
  • Add the polenta and a good pinch of salt
  • Reduce heat and stir for 5 to 10 minutes
  • When most of the water has been absorbed add a good splash of your mylk and stir
  • Whilst the polenta is simmering start the sauce
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based large frying pan
  • Add the onion and saute until soft
  • Then add the mushrooms, pepper, garlic & cherry tomatoes
  • Once all the vegetables are turning golden add the passata
  • Add a touch of water to thin the sauce if required & heat gently
  • Transfer the cooked polenta to serving plates leaving a well in the middle
  • Add the heated vegetable sauce to the centre of the plates
