Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for 5 mins until soft.
Meanwhile, put the quartered tomatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season and roast for 20 mins until tender.
Add the rice to the pan with the onion and stir well for 1 min until coated in oil. Pour over the wine, if using, and bubble for 1 min. Slowly add the stock, a ladle at a time, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Continue until all the stock has been added and the rice is tender. This will take about 20-25 mins.
Stir through the cheese, chopped basil and tomatoes, and season to taste. Scatter with the basil leaves to serve.
