LET'S GO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Rinse the halved leeks and cut into 2-3cm pieces. Place on a roasting tray cut-side up. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until softened and charred. Place a pot over a medium heat. Once hot, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion, finely chop and set aside.
MUSHIES
Return the pot to a high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the chopped mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden. In the last minute, add in ½ the grated Garlic and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. On completion, remove and place in a bowl. Mix ¾ of the chopped walnuts and ½ the chopped Parsley through the mushrooms.
RICE & SHINE
Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the sliced celery for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the remaining grated Garlic and the rice. Fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. On completion, remove from the heat and stir through ½ the grated cheese and a knob of butter. Cover to keep warm.
ON FLEEK
When the leeks are done, top with the mushroom mixture, and the remaining grated cheese. Turn the oven to the highest temperature or on to the grill. Pop the tray back in the oven and grill for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
