Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/Gas 7 and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Arrange the tomatoes on the tray in an even layer, cut-side up, and season with a pinch of salt. Roast for 25 minutes until soft and jammy.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep frying pan, add the onion and garlic and cook gently for 5 minutes until soft.

  4. Stir in the rice and tomato purée and cook for 2 minutes, then pour in a ladleful of the stock. Stir until the stock has been absorbed, then add another ladleful and continue to stir. Keep adding the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice has absorbed all of the stock; it should be just cooked through but retain a bit of bite.

  5. Remove the pan from the heat and beat in the butter and half of the cheese. Fold in the roast cherry tomatoes, then spoon into warm bowls. Top with the remaining cheese, scatter over the basil leaves and serve.
