Warm Burnt Onion Salad

1. Slice the Grelot onions in half, dress with oil and salt. Char both sides on the BBQ
2. Dress the Grelots and 300C onion shells in the verbena oil, chardonnay vinegar and salt.
3. Garnish with some fresh verbena sprigs

300C Onions

Keep rotating the onion every 2 minutes, cook for approximately 8-12 minutes depending on temperature. The onions will continue to cook with the residual temperature once they have been removed from the BBQ.
2. Remove the skins from the onions and break the shells down into individual petals, cutting the larger pieces in half.

Lemon Verbena Oil

1. Bring the oil to 70ºC, drop the lemon verbena in and cover. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse until completely cool. Pass through a fine sieve.
