Onion is my favorite vegetable. I cook with them all the time. That is why thids weeks side dish is a red onion chutney.
It is easy to make , has few ingredients but takes a little while to cook. Impress your guests. It goes very well alongside pork chops or steak. It keeps in the fridge for a week in clean, sterilised jar. Serve at room temperature.
