To begin, place the San Marzano tomatoes on a greaseproof paper sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook in the oven for approximately 2 hours until dry
Meanwhile, make the basil cream. Clean and wash the basil leaves, blanch for 10 seconds then transfer to ice water to cool. Drain the basil and add to a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blitz until smooth
To cook the risotto, add a dash of olive oil to a large saucepan and sauté the shallots. Toast the rice in a separate, non-stick pan before mixing with the shallots
Divide the rice between four plates and place the dried San Marzano tomatoes in the centre. Garnish with sprigs of mint and basil, the basil cream and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil and salt
