Savory Onion Chutney Recipe: A Flavorful Twist

Ingredients

• Two vibrant yellow onions
• One red bell pepper, finely chopped
• A generous sprinkle of freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, to your liking
• A dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your taste buds' delight
• A pinch of fiery cayenne pepper, or adjust for more heat
• Three tablespoons of exquisite sherry vinegar
• Three tablespoons of premium olive oil

Step 1

Start by setting up a campfire or lighting up a charcoal grill and let the flames simmer down until a cozy bed of coals forms.

Step 2

Gently tuck the onions amidst the warm embers, piling some coals around them and on top. Let them roast until they darken and soften, which should take around 15 minutes. Give them a flip, cover them again with coals, and continue cooking until they start releasing their flavorful juices, usually another 10 to 15 minutes. To check if they're done, poke a bamboo skewer into the center—it should glide in easily. Transfer the onions to a bowl, cover them, and let them cool down.

Step 3

Place the red pepper directly on the coals and keep turning it until it chars nicely, around 10 minutes.

Step 4

Peel off the burnt skin from the onions and scrape off the charred bits from the red pepper. Finely chop both vegetables and mix them in a bowl with parsley. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to your liking.

Step 5

Drizzle a bit of sherry vinegar and olive oil over the relish, give it a good toss, cover the bowl, and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to let the flavors meld beautifully.
