Step 1

Dice 1 onion, add to pot with olive oil over medium heat to caramelise. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 2

Add 1 tsp of crushed garlic to the caramelised onion in your pot and comtinue cooking slowly.

Step 3

Add about 500ml water to the pot. Be careful - the hot oil in the pot might splash on you and burn you before this chutney does.

Step 4

Roughly chop your chillies and add them to the pot, including their seeds and 20-30ml of white spirit vinegar. Crank up the heat and let it boil until the chillies become mushy.

Step 5

Once chillies are mushy, start reducing the water content by approximately 45%

Step 6

Once reduced, transfer the contents of the pot to a blender or a food processor and pulse blend until mostly combined - it should not be completely smooth.

Step 7

Add blended contents back into the pot, bring heat down to medium, stir in 30-50 grams of brown sugar, 5g hot english mustard powder. Add salt and black pepper to taste. (Approx 3g salt, 5g black pepper) Reduce further by approximately 30%.

Step 8

Turn the heat down to low, add in 1tbs Bisto powder (or just brown onion soup powder), and stir through thoroughly. Use a whisk to avoid clumps. Allow to thicken up. Optional but recommended ingredients: MSG to taste. 15ml Worcestershire sauce.

Step 9

Once thickened, turn off the heat and add your dried herbs in equal measures of 1tsp each and stir through.

Step 10

Allow to cool down slightly and transfer to a clean, sterilised mason jar. Tightly close the lid whilst contents is still hot. Place sealed jar on counter to further cool down to room temperature before storing in the fridge. Add chutney directly onto any meat, or use spoonfuls in your other dishes for extra flavour.
