Ingredients
  

1 cup Arborio rice (or any short-grain rice)

300g feta cheese, block

250g mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

    In a large, oven-safe baking dish, combine the Arborio rice, sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until well mixed.

      Pour in the vegetable broth and mix again to ensure the rice is evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.

        Create a well in the center of the rice mixture and place the block of feta cheese inside. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the feta and sprinkle with extra oregano and pepper if desired.

          Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

            Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the rice is creamy and the feta is golden and slightly caramelized.

              After removing the dish from the oven, squeeze the lemon zest over the top and gently fluff the rice and crumble the feta into it using a fork.

                Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, and enjoy your delightful Baked Feta Mushroom Rice warm!
