Caramelised Onion And Balsamic Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Saute the onions in a skillet over medium-low heat until translucent and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Deglaze the pan with both vinegars and the wine. Simmer on medium-low heat until all the liquid has been evaporated, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Finely slice the onions. Much easier with a mandolin or food processor.
• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan.
• Add the onions and garlic. Cook, covered, over a low heat for about 30 minutes, until soft. Stir occassionally.
• Stir in the mustard seedsand cook a further minute.
• Add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and the salt.
• Bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer uncoverd for about 5 minutes. Stir occassionally. Simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and the onions are caramelised.
• Spoon the mixture into hot sterilised jars and seal while hot. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the onions in half and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are tender. Remove from the oven, toss with 2 more tablespoons balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Combine onions and sugar in a heavy non-stick skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for about 25 minutes or until onions are golden and starting to caramelize, stirring frequently.
• Stir in wine and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil on high, then reduce heat to low and cook about 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.
• Season to taste and cool briefly.
• Ladle relish into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
