Chop the cherry tomatoes into half. Finely slice the onion and celery. Rehydrate the saffron in warm water.

Put the cherry tomato halves flat in a frying pan and sprinkle with the finely chopped garlic, salt & pepper and olive oil.

Wedge in the garlic cloves with skin and sprinkle with salt & pepper and olive oil.

Put into a preheated oven 210C (Gas mark 7) for 30 minutes.

Take out 6 tomatoes for the garnish. Sieve the remaining tomatoes and whole garlic.

Make into a puree.

Put the stock in a pan and keep warm.

In another pan, put some oil and fry the onion and celery until soft.

Add the rice to Step 8 and fry for a few minutes. Add the warmed stock from Step 7 a bit at a time.

Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is mostly cooked.

Add the puree from Step 6 and mix well. Turn the heat off and add the cheese and butter and mix well.

Adjust to taste with salt & pepper and garnish with the 6 tomatoes before serving.

Tips & Note

●Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil around the edge of the plate when serving to make it look appetising.
●⑥If you don't want to sieve the tomatoes, you can skip this and add the roasted tomatoes and garlic as it is to Step 11
●You don't have to put in saffron, but the colour and flavour will definitely improve if you can add it.
