Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This casserole is incredibly warming for a cold autumn night – rich with wine and mushrooms and with herby cheese scones as a topping. You can easily double this up to serve more people – just use a really large roasting tin.

Ingredients

300g mini portobello mushrooms
250g chestnut mushrooms, halved
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tsp sea salt
1 onion, roughly chopped
2–3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 tbsp olive oil
200ml good red wine
2 tsp cornflour
150ml vegetable stock
For the scones:
250g plain flour
1½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp sea salt
35g cold butter, cubed
25g fresh parsley or basil, finely chopped
60g extra mature cheddar, grated
freshly ground black pepper
100ml milk
1 egg, lightly beaten

Essential kit

You will need: A food processor.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Mix the mushrooms, garlic, sea salt, onion and rosemary with the olive oil in a roasting tin or lasagne dish, then transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a food processor or by hand, mix the flour, cream of tartar and sea salt with the butter until it looks like fine sand, then stir in the herbs, three-quarters of the cheese and the pepper. Add the milk, and bring everything together gently into a scone dough. Cover and chill until needed.

Once the mushrooms have had their 20 minutes, mix a tablespoon of the red wine with the cornflour then stir it into the mushrooms along with the remaining wine and the stock.

Form the scone dough into walnut-size portions and dot them over the mushrooms, flattening each slightly. Brush with the beaten egg, top with the reserved cheese, then return to the oven for 20 minutes – the scones should be golden brown and crisp, and the sauce thick and reduced. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, then serve hot.
