Step 1

This recipe takes around 10 min to prep, so get your casserole dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg. Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish and cover tightly with foil.

Step 2

Now, let's get started! Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6. Boil a kettle Heat a large, wide-based oven-proof casserole dish with a matching lid with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, add the portobello mushrooms to a baking tray with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle half of the grated Italian hard cheese (you'll use the rest later!) into the mushrooms - these are your cheesy portobellos. Set the tray aside until later.

Step 4

Wash the rocket, then pat it dry with kitchen paper. Wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any grit from between the leaves, then top, tail and slice into rounds. Once hot, add the leek rounds to the casserole dish.

Step 5

Add the arborio rice to the dish and stir everything together. Crush the garlic cloves open by squashing them with the side of a knife. Remove the skins and chop the crushed garlic roughly.

Step 6

Tear the mushrooms directly into the dish. Add the chopped garlic with the wine and white wine vinegar. Add the vegetable stock cube with boiled water.

Step 7

Bring to the boil over a high heat, then cover with a lid and put the dish in the oven. Put the tray with the cheesy portobellos on into the oven at the same time. Cook everything for 25-30 min or until the rice is cooked with a slight bite and the portobellos are tender and juicy. Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!

Step 8

To serve, stir the remaining grated Italian hard cheese through the risotto and season with a generous pinch of salt. Top with a handful of rocket, the cheesy portobellos and a grind of black pepper. Let everyone dig in!
