Course: Condiment

Cuisine: Mediterranean

Keyword: red onion

Servings: 2 medium jars

Ingredients

700 g red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
100 ml red wine
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp brown sugar
ground pepper

Instructions

Thinly slice the onions.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy based pot. Add the mustard seeds and fry until they start popping. Turn the heat to medium.
Add the garlic and chilli and fry for a minute.
Add the onions to the pot and gently cook for 20 minutes until soft and translucent, stirring frequently.
Turn the heat to low, then stir in the wine, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the liquid has reduced and the relish has caramelised. It should feel a little sticky.
Grind in some fresh pepper to taste.
Let it cool for 5 minutes, then tightly fill two sterilised jars with the relish. Close the lid and let it sit in the fridge for a week before consuming.
