Oooh yummy yum yum - I love goats cheese! I made a red onion and chilli marmalade to serve with it which turned out to be really good.
This makes a really nice starter and would be great at Christmas. It's also very easy to make too.
To serve 2 you will need:
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
Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan and add the onion and the chilli.
Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes over a 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 a 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 goats 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!
