  1. I love dishes that are really simple to make but taste like a lot of effort has gone into it. This is one of them. I used some fresh bocconcini, good quality vegetables and the balsalmic and apple glaze I bought recently. The combination was magical and really didn't feel like I "cooked" anything even though I had cooked the onion. That, by the way, was what made the dish. I can't eat raw onions so nice to see a recipe where they are cooked.
