Parma Ham and Basil Risotto

Cooked this Risotto yesterday which turned out very tasty. It is based on several recipes that I have used in the past.
The ingredients to serve 2 are:
1 large onion. Chopped finely.
Olive oil large spoonful
Butter 25g
Garlic - 3 cloves crushed
Basil about 10 leaves chopped roughly
Tomatoes - about 10 of the realy small ones..blanch and remove skins
Parma Ham
Carnaroli Rice
Bouillon Stock Cube with 600Ml boiling water
Heat the oil and half the butter in a deep frying pan on a medium heat. Fry the Onion for about 3 minutes add the garlic and tomatoes cook for another minute.
Add the rice and stir constantly for another 2 minutes.
Turn the heat to low and add the stock a laddleful at a time waiting for it to be absorbed before adding more stock.
After 20mins the stock should be gone and the rice should be creamy in consistency.
Add the Basil and Parma Ham. Cook for a further minute.
Don't think this needs seasoning at all. So be careful with the salt as the Parma ham has a lot in it.
Serve immediately with a a large glass of white wine.
