Caramelised Balsamic Red Onions

SIDE DISH

SWEET AND STICKY SIDE DISH

A patient slow simmer can completely transform raw potent onions, which are sometimes hard to digest, into a soft, sweet and sticky side dish. A dash of balsamic vinegar enriches their natural sweetness and creates a caramel-like glaze. Onions are crammed full of antioxidants, the dark hue in red onions is due to anthocyanin which is known to reduce inflammation.

Great in burgers, as a pizza topping, alongside steak, or, my favourite, loaded into sweet potatoes with melted goats cheese.
