This is winter comfort without a sink full of pans. Chooki's Original Chicken Salt gives the rice that savoury chip-shop edge, while the mushrooms and cheddar keep it properly hearty.

  • 1 1/2 cups medium-grain rice, rinsed
  • 300g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small brown onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups gluten-free vegetable stock, hot
  • 2 teaspoons Chooki's Original Chicken Salt
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup thickened cream
  • 1 cup grated cheddar

Step 1: Soften

Heat oven to 190C. Put onion, garlic, mushrooms and olive oil in a 25 x 30cm baking dish, toss well, then bake for 10 minutes until the mushrooms start to soften.

Step 2: Bake

Stir in the rice, hot stock and Chooki's Original Chicken Salt. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until the rice is just tender.

Step 3: Finish

Lift off the foil, stir through the spinach and cream, then scatter over the cheddar. Bake uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.

Tip: Keep the foil tight for the rice stage. If steam escapes too early, the rice can cook patchy.
