I didn't expect polenta and chickpeas to be so delicious! A simple and healthy recipe!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and works well for frying.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Aquafaba can bind ingredients without using eggs.

flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

All-purpose flour is more economical for breading.

Bring 300ml water and a pinch of salt to a boil.

Add 90g corn grits and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.

Fry 1 onion in olive oil for 3-4 minutes.

Add 1 red sweet pepper to the onion and fry for another 4 minutes.

Add fresh parsley and 1 clove of garlic, season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Place the mixture in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to stabilize.

Cut the mass into equal cubes.

Fry the cubes in olive oil on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
