The Red Onion Thing

About our The Red Onion Thing

Made super locally in Paddock Wood. The Red Onion Thing is so named because I don’t really know what it ought to be called. It’s probably a relish, or a pickle or possibly a chutney (although that ought to be spiced). I don’t personally like the term ‘Red Onion Marmalade’ but it could be that too. The red onions are cooked down for a long time and then caramelised. I am a bit nervous of this process which is really ‘burning on purpose’. The smell of the caramelisation process always reminds me of bacon and this would be very good with a bacon sandwich, barbecue, burger, ham or Cheddar cheese. I think this one is a traditional ‘side of the plate’ pickle.
