How to Make Fiery Onion Relish

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
  2. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the onions are sticky and caramelized. Let cool completely before serving.
