Barbecued Red Onion Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Coat onions lightly with oil. Mix together 1 tablespoon each brown sugar, chile powder, cumin and curry powder and rub onion circles all over with the mixture. (If you have metal skewers, thread two onion circles horizontally onto each skewer first, then coat with oil and seasoning.)
• Place onions on grill over coals and cook until cut sides are golden brown streaked with black, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move to side or back of grill where temperature is low and cook, flipping once or twice, until onions are soft enough to yield easily when squeezed with tongs, at least 15 and up to 40 minutes, removing smaller onions from grill as they become cooked to this stage. Remove from grill and, if not using immediately, refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
• To make chutney, roughly chop onions. Heat olive oil in large sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and cook until very soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and the cider vinegar, bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. This chutney keeps, covered and refrigerated, about 1 week.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions, stirring frequently, until softened. Add bell pepper and ginger and sauté, stirring, 1 minute.
• Stir in mangoes, pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, curry powder, and red pepper flakes. Simmer,stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and coarse pepper, then cool. Serve chutney at room temperature.
