SOUTH NEW-ZEALAND CHEESE ROLLS

Couple of weeks ago we had visitors from New-Zealand. One evening they prepared dinner for us - cheese rolls from the South Island. 
The original rolls are made with onion soup that is not available here so I decided to make them with caramelized onions and pesto.

4 rolls
Ingredients:
4 big toast bread
50g (or more if you like)grated cheese
2 onions / chopped
2 cloves garlic /chopped
50g pine nuts 
50g basil
pinch of sugar and salt
pepper
olive oil
cherry vinegar (optional)

Toast the pine nuts until colored.
Combine pine nuts, olive oil  and basil in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
Add salt.

Saute onions with garlic. Add pinch of salt, pepper and sugar(and cherry vinegar).

Roll the bread flat with a rolling pin. Spread pesto over the bread, then cheese, onions and roll up. 

Bake in oven at 180C for 10 minutes.
