  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas 4.

  5. Cook for a few minutes and then add the sherry and stock.
  6. Bring to the boil and then pour into the dish that has been heating in the oven.
  7. Put the lid on the dish and cook for 25 minutes.
  8. You can use the same saucepan as before to heat the rest of the oil.
  9. Chop the fennel into quarters and then slice it.
  10. Gently cook the fennel and garlic until the fennel is tender and then remove from the heat.

  14. If there is too much liquid, leave the lid off when you put the risotto back in the oven for 5-10 minutes to make sure the rice is cooked and everything is hot.
