  1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put a medium ovenproof casserole dish on low heat, pour in 2 tbsp olive oil, then scatter in the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10-15 mins, or until the onion is starting to turn golden at the edges.

  4. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving straight from the dish.
