Spiced Red onion Chutney and Gorgonzola Crostini

Ingredients

• 3 large red onions
• 50 g sugar ((1/4 cup))
• 50 ml red wine vinegar ((just shy of 1/4 cup))
• 50 ml red wine ((just shy of 1/4 cup))
• 3 juniper berries
• 4 cloves
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• Gorgonzola piccante ((crumbly kind))
• 1 loaf Ciabatta bread

Steps

1. 1

   Finely slice the red onions, I like to do this in my food processor using the slicer attachment which takes seconds but you can also finely slice them with a knife.

2. 2

   Add the onions and the sugar to a large saucepan and cover with a lid. Cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes until soft.

3. 3

   Remove the lid and add the red wine, red wine vinegar, spices, bay leaf and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine then continue cooking until soft and sticky (there should be no liquid left).

4. 4

   Leave the onions to cool completely.

5. 5

   Cut the ciabatta into slices and drizzle with olive oil. Char-grill the crostini on a hot griddle pan.

6. 6

   Top with the cooled red onion chutney and some gorgonzola cheese then serve.
