Remove the stalks from the mushrooms, roughly chop them and set aside. Brush the mushroom caps all over with oil. Place in a shallow ovenproof dish cap side up and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the leek and mushroom stalks until softened. Season with salt and a little black pepper. Add the leeks to the couscous and then stir in the chestnuts and cranberries. Mix together until well combined.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and turn the caps stalk side up. Pile the couscous on top of the mushrooms and dot over the chopped brie. Return to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Serve with rocket.
