Who doesn't love Chips! This is a great alternative for a light summer meal.


Ingredients 
2 1/2 cups ( 625ml) Vegetable Stock
1 cup (150g) Polenta 
2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs of Balsamic Vinegar

3 cups (90g) mixed lettuce leaves
1/2 cup semi dried Tomatoes
1/2 cup Kalamata pitted olives

2. Bring stock to the boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Gradually add polenta in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly. Add rosemary and cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes or until thick. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm.
