How to Make Balsamic Red Onion & Lamb Salad - Sydney Markets

Prep 30 mins | Cook 30 mins | Serves 4

3 medium red onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
14 cup caramelized balsamic vinegar
212 tbs olive oil
450g lamb sirloins (or use boneless lamb cut of choice)
4 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced
100g baby salad leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling, to serve

Step 1 To make balsamic onions, combine onions, garlic, balsamic vinegar and 1 tbs oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine. Set aside for 15 minutes. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbs oil and heat until hot. Add onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until soft and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2 Spray lamb with oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a greased barbecue plate or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add lamb and cook, for 8-10 minutes (for medium-rare sirloins), turning occasionally, until sealed and almost cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3 Thinly slice lamb. Arrange salad greens, tomatoes and lamb on serving plates. Top with balsamic onions, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.
