Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons garlic flavored extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, roughly chopped
3 red onions, peeled and cut into thick wedges
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 ounces arugula, to serve
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F In a bowl, mix together half the balsamic vinegar, half the garlic flavoured oil, sugar, oregano and seasoning.
  • Place the onion wedges and garlic in a roasting tin, and spoon the balsamic mixture over. Turn the onions in the vinegar mixture until they are thoroughly coated. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Turn the onions over, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the onions are soft and sticky and the seeds are golden. If the balsamic marinade begins to burn while the onions are roasting, add 1-2 tbsp hot water to the tin.
  • Whisk the remaining balsamic vinegar and oil to make a dressing. Tip the arugula into a large serving dish and drizzle with the dressing. Add the onions and garlic, and serve with warmed crusty bread.
