Baked Corn Grits Sticks

The recipe for baked corn grit sticks is a great alternative for the daily menu during Lent. The dish is very aromatic, tasty, prepared relatively quickly, and is something different that we are sure most of you haven't tried.

Lent can become a pleasure if we manage to unleash our imagination and combine the right and complementary ingredients.

You can find the main ingredients at ZELEN Organic Shop. Here's what you need for today's dish:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup organic corn grits
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 large pinch dried thyme
• 1 large pinch dried oregano
• 1 pinch Himalayan salt and black pepper
  
  Instructions:
  
  In a suitable pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Just before it starts to boil, add the corn grits in a thin stream, stirring continuously with a whisk.
  
  Once the mixture is thick enough that the outlines of the whisk remain on the bottom of the pot, remove it from the heat. Transfer to a baking dish and spread evenly. Cover the polenta tightly with cling film to prevent a crust from forming.
  
  Let it cool for about 30 minutes, then carefully remove from the mold and cut into strips about 1.5-2 cm thick. In a bowl, place a large pinch of salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano, add the breadcrumbs and nutritional yeast, and stir to combine the ingredients well.
  
  Roll each polenta piece in the spices, tapping them lightly to remove excess breading. Arrange them spaced out in a baking dish lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees, turning them every 7 minutes to brown evenly on all four sides. Serve them warm with a dip of your choice.
  
  If you don't have the opportunity to prepare a homemade dip, you can combine the lenten corn grit sticks with vegan mayonnaise, which will further enhance the great taste of your Christmas lenten dish.
