- 650g vegetable stock
- 125g dried polenta + 1 tbsp for dusting

- Stir in the chopped chives and season well before pouring into a lightly greased baking dish. Leave to cool then chill for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, 200°C fan, Gas mark 7.
- Place the red and yellow peppers, carrots, courgette and red onion in a large roasting tin and sprinkle with the cumin seeds and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing them once, until lightly charred and tender.
- Meanwhile, cut the polenta into ‘chips’ and roll in the remaining dried polenta to lightly coat.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and fry the chips for 5-6 minutes, turning often, to give a crisp crust and soft centre.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and toss with the rocket or watercress. Serve sprinkled with pumpkin seeds, with polenta chips on the side.
