Ingredients:

Serving

3 large beefsteak, creole , or vine-ripened tomatoes (12 to 14 oz each), cored
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
12 thin slices vidalia or other sweet onion
4 oz arugula , tough stems removed
5 oz well-chilled roquefort cheese
1/4 cup balsamic syrup , recipe follows
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Slice each tomato into 4 thick slices. Season both sides of each slice with the salt and pepper.
Place sliced onions in the center of 4 large salad plates and arrange 4 arugula leaves in a 4-leaf clover shape on top. Place 1 tomato slice on top of each stack. Arrange a heaping tablespoon of crumbled Roquefort on top of the tomato slices. Repeat layering for 3 layers each of the onions, arugula, and tomatoes, ending with the Roquefort on top.
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the Balsamic Syrup around and over each stack and 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil on each plate. Garnish with additional freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
Balsamic Syrup:
Bring the vinegar to a boil in a medium heavy saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by nearly 3/4 in volume and thickened to a syrup, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely before using. (This keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator indefinitely.)
Yield: about 1/3 cup
