Caramelized onion chutney
Background
I always make some onion marmalade or chutney for the festive seasons as it goes superbly with nutty cheeses, cold or grilled meats and I can use it on party nibbles, in burgers, fritters, scones & sandwiches. This caramelized onion chutney is one of my favourite recipes, so much so, that I give jars of it away as presents to friends! This chutney keeps well for months in sterilised jars (stored in a dark, cool space) but after opening it must be kept in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg onion
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 300g light muscovado sugar
- 200 ml red wine vinegar
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp grainy mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
Instructions
- Peel the onions, then cut them in half and thinly slice.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the onion and cook at low temperature for 10 minutes until soft.
- Add 3 Tbsps of sugar to the onion and turn up the heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, while constantly stirring (make sure it doesn’t burn!).
- When the onion is golden brown, pour over the vinegar and add the remaining ingredients. Stir, then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- When it turns into a dark brown, thick, jelly-like jam, turn off the heat and spoon the chutney into cooled, sterilized jars. Seal the jars well.
