Black Onion Relish
While I was experimenting in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe that has quickly become a kitchen staple. I’ve never wanted a hot dish more than I do when this relish is around. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup black onions, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or cilantro)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sliced black onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are softened and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Next, add balsamic vinegar and honey to the onions. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- If you choose to use mustard seeds, add them at this point for an extra layer of flavor. Continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey.
- Remove from heat and allow the relish to cool down. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container.
- This relish can be enjoyed immediately, but it tastes even better after it’s had time to sit for a day in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve as a topping or condiment for your favorite dishes and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
