This is an easy but impressive starter with a great depth of flavour. It went down a treat at our recent street party.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
400 grams red onions
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 tablespoons sultanas
1 good quality ciabatta loaf, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic peeled and cut in half
2 x 250 grams buffalo mozzarella
Fresh thyme and rocket leaves to garnish
Method
Heat oil in a large heavy based frypan over medium heat.
Cook onions for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are very soft and caramelised.
Add balsamic vinegar and sugar, now taste to see if the balance is correct, add a little more of either to obtain the correct taste.
Add sultanas and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat.
Brush both sides of the bread with oil and toast.
Rub one side with garlic and top with torn mozzarella and approximately 1 tablespoon of onion mixture. (you want twice as much cheese as onion mixture)
Sprinkle with thyme, rocket and a little salt.
