1. 1

   Make the dressing by combining the vinegars and seasoning and then vigorously whisking in the combined oils to make a 'creamy' emulsion.

2. 2

   Chop the tomatoes very finely, add them to the dressing, and leave to stand on one side.

3. 3

   Peel the onions and slice them into rings, no more than 1/4in thick preferably finer.

4. 4

   Put the oil and butter into a frying pan and heat over a moderate flame.

5. 5

   Once the butter has finished bubling, add the onion rings, stirring round until they are all well coated.

6. 6

   Cook for about 15 minutes, tossing and stirring frequently until the onions have softened and taken on a little colour.

7. 7

   Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

8. 8

   Slice the goats cheeses into halves.

9. 9

   Turn the grill on high.

10. 10

    Then place the cheese halves on a baking tray, cut side up, and put under for about 5 minutes, or until the tops are covered with golden brown freckles and the cheese inside has started to melt.

11. 11

    Put the onions back over a high flame and, stirring continually, tip in the sherry vinegar and sugar.

12. 12

    Remove from the heat and season lavishly with salt and pepper.

13. 13

    To serve, put a goat's cheese half on each plate with the salad and then strew with the sweet and sour onions.
