    How to Make Tangy Spiced Onion Relish

    1. Mixing the Relish

    In the small serving bowl, combine the finely chopped onions with salt, freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red wine vinegar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the onion pieces are evenly coated with the vinegar and spices.

    2. Chilling the Relish

    Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the relish chill for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the onions to slightly pickle.

    3. Serving

    Once chilled, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Stir the relish once more, then bring it to the table to accompany your favorite Indian meals.

    Variations

    Spiced Mango Chutney

    Swap some of the onions for diced mangoes, creating a sweet and tangy chutney. Add ginger and garlic for extra heat and aroma. Use spices like cardamom and cloves for a more Indian-inspired flavor. This chutney pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or as a spread in sandwiches.

    Caramelized Onion and Fig Jam

    Mix in dried figs with the onions for added sweetness and texture. Incorporate balsamic vinegar to complement the figs. Perfect as a topping for brie or camembert on a cheese platter.

    Pear and Onion Chutney

    Use pears along with the onions for a fruitier version. Spice it up with star anise and cinnamon for a warm, autumnal flavor. Complements gamey meats like duck or venison.

    Tomato Jam

    Replace onions with ripe tomatoes, which will result in a sweet and savory jam. Introduce herbs like basil or thyme for an Italian twist. Serve with cheeses, as a burger topping, or with roasted meats.

    Pickled Jalapeño and Onion Relish

    Add sliced jalapeños to the onions for a spicy kick. Use lime juice instead of vinegar for a Mexican-inspired flavor. Excellent as a condiment for tacos, nachos, or hot dogs.
