Prepare rice in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Cut off the upper quarter of the Mairübchen as a lid. Leave about 1 cm of the green. Hollow out the turnips with a ball cutter.
Cut the inside of the turnips into small pieces. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into quarters. Thyme wash, shake dry, pluck the leaves from 3 stems and chop finely.
Put the fairy tale dolls in a wide pot. Pour on approx. 500 ml water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover the turnips and stew them for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the turnip lids about 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Heat the oil in a pan.
Fry the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Add chopped turnips and thyme about 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Season with salt and pepper and take the pan off the heat. Drain the rice. Grate cheese.
Mix rice, 2/3 cheese and mushrooms. Remove the fairy tails from the pot and rinse briefly in cold water. Peel the skin from the turnips. Fill the turnips with the rice mix, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 15-20 minutes. Bake the turnip lids for approx. 10 minutes.
Roast the seeds in a pan without fat, remove. Arrange 2 fairy tails on each plate and sprinkle with roasted seeds. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and garnish with thyme.
