Equipment

  • kitchen machine (optional)
  • steralised jars

Ingredients

  • 2 kg red onions 4.4 lbs
  • 50 ml olive oil 1.6 fl oz
  • 200 ml red wine vinegar 7 fl oz
  • 400 ml balsamic vinegar 14 lf oz
  • 250 gr brown sugar 8.8 oz
  • 2 chillies

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the red onions with a kitchen machine, or by hand. Slice the two chillies into thin strips.
  • Add the oil to a non-stick pan and heat up on medium heat. Fry the onions for 20-25 minutes on a low heat until they start to brown . This will make them sticky and sweet.
  • Add the sugar and chillies. Mix everything and fry for a further 5 minutes. The onions should be caramelised.
  • Now pour in the red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar while stirring the mixture.
  • Leave to simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Make sure to stir once in a while or the bottom may burn.
  • Wait for the mixture cools down and then pour it in the prepared and sterilized chutney jars.
  • Screw the lids on tightly and its best to leave the chutney rest for the 3-4 weeks for the taste to mature.
