How to Make Caramelised Red Onion Chutney Recipe

  1. Thinly slice 1 kg red onions and 1-2 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Halve the onion slices. Add to a large pan with 2 bay leaves, the chilies, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Cook gently over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and caramelize.
  3. Add 150g granulated sugar, 100ml red wine vinegar, 50ml balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon mustard seeds. Stir well to combine. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened and darkened significantly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Carefully pour the hot chutney into sterilized jars, leaving a small amount of headspace. Seal tightly and allow to cool completely.
  5. For the best flavor, let the chutney age for at least a month (or even longer!) to allow the flavors to meld and mature. Enjoy!
  6. (Optional) For a smoother chutney, use an immersion blender to lightly puree before jarring.
