      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      3    100g somerset goat's cheese 
      2    Spanish onions 
      2 tb Olive oil 
      1 oz Butter 
           Mixed green salad 
           Rocket 
      3 tb Sherry vinegar 
      3 tb Caster sugar 
      4    Sun dried tomatoes 
           Salt & pepper 
 
------------------------------FOR THE DRESSING------------------------------ 
      2 tb Red wine vinegar 
      2 tb Sherry vinegar 
      8 tb Olive oil 
      8 tb Sesame oil 
           Salt & 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 1/4in 
  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.
