Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
3 red onions, halved and thickly sliced
100g runny honey
100ml Cabernet Sauvignon or Chianti red wine vinegar (from Sainsbury’s Special Selection and Waitrose)
30g plump raisins
50g walnut pieces

Method

Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onions, season with salt and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelised.
Stir in the honey and bubble for a few minutes until reduced. Add the vinegar and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until sticky and well reduced. Stir in the raisins and walnuts and season to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
