Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish, drizzle with a little oil and balsamic vinegar. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until they burst and lightly caramelize.
2
Meanwhile, in a wide pan, sauté the shallot in olive oil until translucent. Add the rice and toast it for 2 minutes, until the edges of the grains become glossy.
3
Add the garlic and half of the roasted tomatoes (together with their juice). Gradually start adding the hot broth to the rice, one ladle at a time.
4
Stir the risotto constantly to release the starch. Add a new ladle of liquid only once the rice has absorbed the previous one. Repeat the process for about 18 minutes, until the rice is al dente.
5
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the grated parmesan, chopped basil, and the remaining roasted tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Divide the risotto between two plates. Place half a burrata in the center of each, cut it slightly so its creamy center spreads over the risotto, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
