ONION JAM

60ml of olive oil

450g of onion, peeled and finely sliced

1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar

1 tsp Demerara sugar

sea salt

Directions

1. To make the onion jam, heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook over a gentle heat until they are soft and translucent with no colour

2. Add the remaining ingredients (except the salt) and continue to cook until the onions are caramelised and very soft, for about 20–30 minutes

3. Season with salt and allow the onion jam to cool completely before storing in a covered container or jar with a lid in the fridge

4. Meanwhile, carefully cut the lamb steaks into thin slices using aq very sharp knife. Season them to taste on both sides with salt and black pepper.

5. Drizzle a little olive oil in a large frying pan or griddle and cook the lamb steaks over a high heat for about 1 minute on each side – you want a nice browned crust with a pink interior

6. Assemble the sandwiches by piling lots of salad leaves inside the bread buns, then add the sliced tomatoes and red onion slices and finish off by placing the cooked lamb steaks on top with a large spoonful of onion jam
