Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 Garlic Cloves, finely minced
- 150g Risotto Arborio Rice
- 700 ml Vegetable Stock, hot in a saucepan

Directions
- Bring the vegetable stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
- In a large heavy bottomed frying pan, sweat the diced onion down with the olive oil over a medium heat until translucent.
- Add the garlic to the pan along with the risotto rice and saute for a couple of minutes. Ladle in the vegetable stock one at a time and stir until the liquid has been absorbed, continue this way until 3/4 of the stock has been used.
Pour in the remainder of the vegetable stock along with the tin of cherry tomatoes and continue to stir as this simmers away. - As the risotto thickens season with salt and black pepper to taste and stir through the salted butter, serve immediately.
