Dice the onion and garlic. Sauté in the butter, add the risotto rice, and sauté until translucent. Deglaze with white wine, bring to a boil, and top up with saffron and 2/3 of the stock. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding a little of the remaining stock until the rice is al dente. Finally, stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper if desired. Arrange the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish greased with olive oil, season with salt, sugar, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves. Cook in a hot oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 20 minutes. Trim and wash the spring onions, blanch them, and then cool in iced water. Later, reheat in a pan with butter and season with salt. Arrange the leeks decoratively on top of the risotto with the oven-baked tomatoes.
