Polenta Stack With Navy Bean Salad

This Mediterranean-inspired polenta stack with navy bean salad is a vibrant vegetarian dish that celebrates fresh, simple ingredients. By combining hearty beans with juicy plum tomatoes and fragrant basil, you create a robust base for the creamy polenta and tender courgettes. Grilling the ingredients inside foil parcels allows the flavours to meld beautifully while steaming the vegetables to perfection, resulting in a dish that is both light and satisfying.

Perfect for a fuss-free midweek dinner or a healthy weekend lunch, these individual parcels are as fun to serve as they are to eat. The salty tang of crumbled feta perfectly balances the sweetness of the roasted red peppers, offering a well-rounded flavour profile. It is a nutritious, protein-rich option that provides a lovely alternative to traditional pasta or rice dishes.
