Warm Goat's Cheese Salad with Red Onion Marmalade
This is an appealing starter to the senses - sight, smell and taste. Warmed goat's cheese on a bed of wild rocket and drizzled with warm red onion marmalade.Ingredients:
For the red onion marmalade
- 50 ml olive oil
- 1 kg red onions, finely sliced
- 250 g soft brown sugar
- 75 ml red wine
- 75 ml balsamic vinegar
For the salad
- Wild rocket leaves
- Goat's cheese
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook over a low heat until soft and translucent - about 7-8 minutes.
Add the sugar and stir as it melts. Add the wine and vinegar and simmer until it reaches a sticky jam consistency. This should take about 45 minutes, but all you need to do is stir it occasionally.
To serve, warm the goat's cheese and arrange on the rocket; drizzle (generously) with the marmalade.
TIP: This marmalade is a delicious accompaniment with cheese and crackers.
