Ingredients




1 head butter lettuce
8 cippolini onions, end trimmed and peeled
4 slices of bacon
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 ounces slices from a log of goat cheese (about 1  each)

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400. 2 Heat oil in an ovenproof pan. 3 Add the onions and saute until golden brown on each side. 4 Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. 5 When cool enough to handle, wrap each in half a slice of bacon then place in the pan seam side down. 6 Sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Then sprinkle the thyme over the onions. 7 Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Then turn on the broiler to crisp the bacon. 8 Remove from oven. Set the bacon-wrapped onions on a plate. 9 Set the pan over medium heat and whisk in the soy sauce and vinegar. (You can get rid of a little of the bacon fat if there's too much in the pan). Bring to a boil then reduce until slightly thickened. Strain. 10 Arrange lettuce on plates. Place 4 onions on each then drizzle with the dressing. Place the goat cheese in the center and serve immediately.
