2. 2

   Whisk the polenta into simmering stock and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.

   Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

   Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and courgette for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

6. 6

   Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
