Melt the butter in a pot then stir-in the spring onions and cook for 4 minutes, or until just softened then stir-in the carrots, mushrooms and the rice. Stir-fry for 5 minutes then add the vegetable stock, thyme and bay leaves. Season to taste then bring to a boil before turning into a baking dish.
