Instructions
Wash and peel the beetroot, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor's shredding disc.
Peel the red onion and finely chop it.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the grated beetroot to the pan, stirring well to combine with the onion.
Pour in the red wine vinegar and add the sugar, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Let the relish cook for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
