Method:

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

To roast the tomatoes: Arrange the cherry tomatoes and onion quarters on the baking sheet . Drizzle the olive oil over and season with salt. Roast for 15 minutes.

To make the risotto: Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan or pot and fry the onion until soft. Add the garlic and oregano and fry until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste.

Add the butter and rice and stir-fry for a minute. Add the white wine and stir-fry until absorbed.

In a separate bowl, mix the canned tomatoes and chicken stock. Add to the risotto spoonful by spoonful using a
soup ladle, stirring continuously. Simmer until the rice is done and most of the stock mixture has been absorbed.

Stir in the cheese and lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

To finish: Spoon the risotto into individual bowls, sprinkle extra cheese and the basil over and serve.
