½ a bunch of fresh thyme
2 cloves of garlic

100g basmati rice
1 tablespoon single cream
1 teaspoon truffle oil

Method
- Ingredients out • Kettle boiled • Oven grill on high • Large lidded pan, medium heat • Griddle pan, high heat • Stick blender
- START COOKING
- Peel, halve and finely slice the onions and put them into the large pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Crumble in the stock cube, add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, strip in the thyme leaves and squash in 2 unpeeled cloves of garlic through a garlic crusher.
- De-stalk the chestnut mushrooms and place the tops on the griddle pan, turning when charred.
- Tear the chestnut stalks and portobellos into the onion pan, add the rice and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour in 1 litre of boiling water and boil with the lid on.
- Cut 4 slices of ciabatta at an angle and add to the griddle pan. When charred on both sides, rub with a halved garlic clove.
- Coarsely grate or slice the apple into matchsticks and toss with the roughly chopped parsley and a little lemon juice.
- Place the chestnut mushrooms on the toasts, crumble over the stilton and walnuts, then pop under the grill until the cheese is melted.
- Use the stick blender to purée the soup to a consistency you like, then season to taste, if needed, and swirl in the cream and truffle oil.
- Top the toasts with pinches of apple and parsley and serve on the side.
