Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 red onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

METHOD

  1. Heat oil in a medium fry pan and add onions and garlic, fry until onion is starting to caramelise, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, fennel and bay leaf and fry a further 2 minutes. Add pineapple, vinegar and brown sugar and stir everything together. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pineapple starts to collapse. Spoon into sterilised jars.

  3. Serve sliced lamb with 2 tablespoons of chutney, or use to fill a pita pocket along with salad, mint, coriander and thick Greek yoghurt.
