It’s finally time to dust off the BBQ, remove the rain covers and get down to some good old summer cooking in the garden. Obviously, I say this with the caveat that these rubs, glazes and pesto’s all work great from the oven as well.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 red onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 150g semi dried cherries or cranberries
- 200mls Ribena or Cassis
- 200mls water
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat the oil and add the sliced onions and garlic powder, then cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vinegar, fruit, Ribena or Cassis, and enough water to just cover the onions.
- Simmer gently for 15 minutes with a lid on so onions soften.
- Spoon about a third of the mix into a liquidiser, and blitz til smooth.
- The left over mix season well with salt and pepper and vinegar.
- Use the glaze to paint on grilled sausages or meats 5-6 minutes before the end of grilling to glaze nicely, and then serve the rest of the onions as a relish.
