INSTRUCTIONS
Halve the fennel lengthways; remove and discard the central core. Cook
in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes until just tender, then
drain well. Cook the rice in boiling salted water until just tender
(follow packet instructions); drain well. Meanwhile, roughly chop the
onions, slice the mushrooms and roughly chop the watercress. Heat the
oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion for 2 minutes. Add the
mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until all excess
moisture is driven off. Add the rice, watercress and soy sauce;
season. Meanwhile, make the Parmesan sauce. Melt the low-fat spread in
a small pan, then stir in the flour, followed by the milk. Bring
slowly to the boil, stirring continually, until sauce thickens. Whisk
until smooth; simmer gently for 1-2 minutes. Stir in 25g cheese and
season. Keep warm over a low heat. Arrange the fennel halves in a
shallow ovenproof dish. Pile the mushroom mixture on to each one,
spoon the sauce over, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and
grill until golden brown. To serve, garnish with the halved, grilled
cherry tomatoes and watercress. NOTES : Preparation time: 20 minutes
