- 300 grams goat (chevre) cheese
- 2 each spanish onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce butter
- 1 x mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar, superfine
- 4 each sundried tomatoes
- 1 x salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 x salt and black pepper
- Make the dressing by combining the vinegars and seasoning and then vigorously whisking in the combined oils to make a 'creamy' emulsion.
- Chop the tomatoes very finely, add them to the dressing, and leave to stand on one side.
- Peel the onions and slice them into rings, no more than 1/4 inch thick preferably finer.
- Put the oil and butter into a frying pan and heat over a moderate flame.
- Once the butter has finished bubling, add the onion rings, stirring round until they are all well coated.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, tossing and stirring frequently until the onions have softened and taken on a little colour.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Slice the goats cheeses into halves.
- Turn the grill on high.
- Quickly dress the salad leaves with a little of the dressing and divide between 6 plates.
- Then place the cheese halves on a baking tray, cut side up, and put under for about 5 minutes, or until the tops are covered with golden brown freckles and the cheese inside has started to melt.
- Put the onions back over a high flame and, stirring continually, tip in the sherry vinegar and sugar.
- Bubble furiously for a couple of minutes until you can see the juices have turned syrupy.
- Remove from the heat and season lavishly with salt and pepper.
- To serve, put a goat's cheese half on each plate with the salad and then strew with the sweet and sour onions.
- Finally, dress with another tablespoon of the dressing, making sure that each plate gets a good sprinkling of sun-dried tomatoes.
