ingredients
- 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

directions
- 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.
