Goats Cheese with Red Onion and Chilli Marmalade

I love goats cheese! I made a red onion and chilli marmalade to serve with it which turned out to be really good.

ingredients:

1 glug of olive oil

2 red onions - sliced thinly

half of a medium heat red chilli - chopped finely and seeds removed

1-star anise

2 tablespoons of brown sugar

1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar

100ml of red wine

2 rounds of goats cheese

instructions

Heat the oil in a medium-sized saucepan and add the onion and the chilli.

Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes over low heat. You don't want the onions to brown very much.

Now add the star anise, sugar and red wine vinegar. Cook for a bit and then add the red wine.

Cook over low heat for a good while (30 minutes plus) until you're happy with the consistency and it is all nice and glossy. Remove the star anise before serving. I served mine with the goat's cheese while it was still warm.

Pop two rounds of goats cheese under the grill for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove just before they start to melt.

I sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of each cheese and finish with a cooks blowtorch. 

Just gives me an excuse to get that gadget out - I love it!
