• For Caramelised Red Onion Chutney

  1. Begin by thinly slicing the red onions and chili. Cut the onion slices in half again. Place them in a pan along with bay leaves, chili, and olive oil. Cook gently over low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
  2. Once the onions turn dark and sticky, add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and mustard seeds. Simmer for about 30 minutes until the chutney thickens and darkens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Transfer the chutney into hot, sterilized jars. Seal the jars and allow the chutney to cool.
  4. While it's tempting, refrain from tasting immediately. Allow the chutney to mature for at least a month for the flavors to harmonize perfectly.
