Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Finely chop onion and garlic. Zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add arborio rice. Stir to combine, then cook until rice is coated and slightly translucent, 1-2 minutes.

Add the water and vegetable stock powder to the frying pan. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat. Transfer risotto to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

While risotto is baking, halve cherry tomatoes. Pick thyme leaves.

Place cherry tomatoes and thyme on a lined oven tray. Add the balsamic vinegar, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until blistered, 15-20 minutes.

Remove risotto from oven. Stir through mixed leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, basil pesto and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste. Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes. TIP: If the risotto is dry, add a splash of water and stir through.

Divide baked cherry tomato and pesto risotto between bowls. Top with pine nuts and tear over parsley leaves. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
