Preheat oven to 190C and line a large oven tray with baking paper. Place mushrooms, chorizo, chickpeas and oregano into a medium bowl. Add olive oil, season with salt and pepper, mix well and spread out in a single layer onto the tray. Roast for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring stock and milk to the boil in a medium, heavy-based saucepan. Rain in the polenta, whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form. Season with salt and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. To serve, place a ladle of polenta onto a plate, drizzle with pesto, top with the mushroom mix and garnish with grated parmesan.
