Baked chicory with caramelised onions

Ingredients

3 -4 chicory heads, halved through the middle
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 tbsp light brown soft sugar
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190˚C, gas mark 5. Put the chicory and onions in a baking dish and sprinkle over the sugar and chilli. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar. Season. Place in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes until golden and caramelised. Serve hot or at room temperature.

The powerful flavours and amazing vibrancy of colour of the herbs and vegetables is second to none; I got excited for the first time in years about parsley such was the quality of flavour and smell!
