Red Onion Chutney

Ingredients

4 red onion

2 tbsp dark brown sugar

2 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1 red chili pepper with seeds

3 tbsp olive oil

⅓ cup balsamic vinegar ((the liquidy kind, not the syrupy, ⅓ cup = 85 ml))

1 pinch Salt and pepper to taste

How The Alchemy Happens

1. Finely dice the red onions and chilli pepper. Grate the garlic.

2. Heat up the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onions and chilli pepper for fifteen minutes on medium heat. Stir frequently so it doesn't stick or go brown.

3. Add the garlic, salt, sugar, cumin, mustard and pepper. Cook for another five minutes.

4. Add the balsamic vinegar and bring to the boil on a high heat. Stir well and consistently until the vinegar has evaporated.

5. Turn off the stove and let the chutney sit and cool for another five minutes.
