How to Make Caramelised Redcurrant Onions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 10 minutes, or until softened and lightly coloured, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly.
  4. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelised and the liquid has almost completely evaporated. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
