Instructions
Preheat the oven to 360F / 180C, and boil a kettle of water. It is important to add boiling water to this dish or it will take a lot longer than expected.
Add the oil to a medium pan and add it to a medium heat.
Chop the onion and add it to the pan. Give it a stir.
Chop the mushrooms and add those to the pan with the garlic and stir.
Add the peas, seasoning, rice, salt, lemon juice, white wine and boiling water to the pan and stir.
Pour the mixture into a casserole dish. Cover with a lid or kitchen foil. Bake in the oven at 180C for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for 10 minutes more. (40 minutes in total).
Taste the rice to make sure it is soft and edible. If it needs longer because the rice isn’t cooked, or if there is excess liquid still in the dish, add it back to the oven checking on it every 3 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked remove the baking dish from the oven and add the cheese, butter, and basil leaves into the dish and give it a stir. The heat from the dish will melt the butter and cheese.
Serve into bowls and Garnish with remaining basil leaves.
