Ingredients

• 4 medium red onions
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 medium red chili peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the red onions into half-moons. Mince the garlic. Finely chop the red chili peppers, removing seeds for less heat if desired.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm up for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until they become soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or sugar to balance the flavors.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the relish cool slightly before transferring to a clean, airtight container.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve cold or at room temperature.
