FLUFF IT UP
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
MAJESTIC MUSHROOMS
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste.
CREAMY SAUCE
Boil a kettle. Dilute the stock with 75ml of boiling water. Wipe down the pan, if necessary, and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated Garlic and ¾ of the picked thyme, and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the white wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until almost all evaporated. Stir in the diluted stock, the crème fraîche and ½ the grated hard cheese. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced. Add the cooked mushrooms and the peas to the pan and stir until fully combined. Season to taste.
SEAR THE KASSLERS
Pat the Pork kasslers dry with some paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the kasslers fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until the fat becomes rendered and crispy. Then, fry for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through.
