Ever so slightly sweet, spicy, and tangy, this onion chutney recipe is an easy and healthy one. Made with 9 plant-based ingredients, this onion chutney pairs beautifully with everything from curries to cheese boards.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lg or 3 medium red onions
  • 1 inch chunk of fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cayenne use 1/2 tsp if you would rather have a more mild chutney
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel and roughly chop the red onions.
  • Add the oil to a large, heavy bottom, pan and place the onions in it. Set the flame to low and saute onions for 25 minutes or so, stirring every few minutes so the onions do not burn.
  • While the onions are sauteing, peel and roughly chop up the garlic and ginger and set aside.
  • As the onions saute, you might need to increase the flame/heat on your stove and increase the frequency of stirring too.
  • Around the 20-25 minute mark, the onions should be beautifully caramelized.
  • At this point add in the peeled and chopped ginger and garlic, the maple syrup, red wine vinegar, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne, and cinnamon, and stir well until the liquid starts to evaporate. This should happen around the 3-minute mark.
  • Remove from stove.
  • Using an inversion blender, or you can add this mixture to a food processor or blender, blend the onion mixture to the consistency you like.
  • Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • This onion chutney can be served right as it is made or chilled and served later.
