Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large red onions
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup water
• 1 medium grated apple
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the red onions.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes until they become very soft and start to brown. Lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

Step 4

Once the onions are well caramelised, add the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce to the pan.

Step 5

Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the grated apple, water, and fresh thyme sprigs.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more water if the chutney becomes too thick.

Step 8

Once the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency and the flavors have melded nicely, remove the sprigs of thyme.

Step 9

Allow the chutney to cool slightly, then transfer it to a sterilized jar.

Step 10

Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
