For the caramelized tomatoes you need small vine tomatoes, which I marinate with a little sugar, salt, pepper and olive oil. Then stew them in a flat oven dish at 220°C and caramelise them. The tomatoes from the oven are served hot as a garnish on the rice.

Cook in the oven at 220°C for about 15 minutes.
Keep the tomatoes warm in the oven until serving.
Prepare Basil Leaves
Pluck the basil leaves from the bunch.
Fry the basil leaves in enough hot oil in a pan. Lightly season with salt. Place on a kitchen paper so that the oil can drip off.
Prepare Courgette
Prepare the courgette for roasting in the pan. Wash, dry and quarter the courgettes and remove the seeds.
Cut the courgette into cubes of about 1 cm in size.
Fry the courgette dices in a pan with a little oil.
Prepare Basil Pesto
Roast the pine nuts in a pan WITHOUT oil.
Add basil, roasted pine nuts, virgin olive oil, parmesan, salt and pepper to the blender.
Mix or puree the ingredients for the pesto cold.
Pour the finished basil pesto into a sealable jar. A part of the pesto is placed on the plates for decoration.
Prepare Balsamico Reduction
Cook the balsamic vinegar in a small pot for max. 10 minutes. Season with pepper.
Prepare Rice with Tomatoes
Cut the spring onions into rings and sauté in a pan with butter and rice. Add the peeled clove of garlic, finely chopped, a little later.
Add the tomatoes to the rice in the pot.
Add the vegetable stock.
Let the rice simmer for 12 minutes at low heat.
The pot remains open, the rice is cooked WITHOUT a lid, otherwise the green ingredients turn grey.
Arrangement on the Plate
Season the rice with a little butter, salt and pepper.
Arrange the rice on a plate with a ring.
Sprinkle the fried courgette cubes on the plate, add pesto, balsamic vinegar reduction and crispy basil leaves.
Decorate the rice with thyme blossoms and marjoram leaves.
Place the caramelized tomato in the middle of the rice, serve the rest of the tomatoes separately.
Serve quickly, enjoy your meal!
