Ingredients
Basic recipe
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 large onions (red or white), sliced
- pinch of salt
Tasty additions
- 2 tbsp soft brown sugar
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
- STEP 2
Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
- STEP 3
Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.
