Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 whole Large red onions
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into even slices. This will ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely, set aside.
Step 3
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stir to coat them with oil, then reduce the heat to low-medium.
Step 5
Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 30-35 minutes until they become golden brown and caramelized. Patience is key here; rushing the process can result in burnt onions instead of caramelized.
Step 6
Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, ground black pepper, salt, fresh thyme leaves, and water.
Step 8
Increase the heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, until the mixture reduces and thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more pepper or a pinch of salt if desired.
Step 10
Allow the chutney to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
Step 11
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve it alongside grilled meats, cheeses, or as a sandwich spread.
