🍳 Preparation: Caramelized onion chutney for raclette
Carefully peel all the onions 🧅 then slice them into thin strips. Take your time: it's the slicing that makes the chutney so creamy!
Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the onions and stir well to coat them. Cook gently for 30 minutes (stirring often!) until they are soft, golden brown, and caramelized. You want a texture that's almost like a compote, not burnt.
Pour in the honey (or brown sugar) and balsamic vinegar. Stir, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes . The onions will become glossy and coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into clean jars. Let cool before refrigerating. This onion chutney will keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator. Serve it with your homemade raclette , on toasted bread, or in a gourmet sandwich.
