Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium red onions
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 medium red chili peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into half-moons. Mince the garlic. Finely chop the red chili peppers, removing seeds for less heat if desired.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm up for 1 minute.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until they become soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or sugar to balance the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the relish cool slightly before transferring to a clean, airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve cold or at room temperature.
