Parmesan flavored polenta sticks
* Plus 30 minutes of rest
Polenta is a food made from corn grits that has a very mild flavor and is ideal to accompany it with contrasting sauces, like an intense puttanesca sauce or an irresistible homemade guacamole.
As we can see in this recipe, polenta is also perfect to mix with ingredients with more intense flavor, such as cashew parmesan, which provides flavor and nutritional properties as valuable as proteins and essential fatty acids, among others.
In this way, we obtain a more tasty and rich polenta, which we can enjoy as it is, or accompanied with a dip or sauce.
Another positive point of the polenta is that it is very easy to prepare and needs very few and simple ingredients, which allows us to have it ready at any time.
Thanks to polenta and cashew parmesan, this dish is rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins, beta carotene, fiber, omega 6 essential fatty acids, tryptophan, phytosterols, vitamins E and B group (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9 or folic acid), magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, lithium, vanadium, molybdenum and zinc.
