The Misfits — Red Onion Relish with Ashwagandha

A slow-cooked red onion relish, nearly three-quarters onion, sharpened with balsamic and white wine vinegar and given a low heat by dry red chilli and Kashmiri chilli powder. Molasses and a little raw sugar balance the acidity. Ashwagandha is part of the ingredient list. It is the jar to reach for when a sandwich or a cheese board needs something sweet-sharp against it.

FAQs

How hot is it?

Mild. The chillies add warmth and colour rather than real heat — Kashmiri chilli in particular is used more for colour than fire.

Is it very sweet?

It is sweet-sharp. Molasses and a little raw sugar are there to balance two vinegars, so acidity is as prominent as sweetness.

Does it contain gluten-bearing ingredients?

The listed ingredients are onion, vinegars, oil, sugars, spices and mustard seeds. Check the printed label for the full statement.

How long does it keep once opened?

Refrigerate it and use it within the period stated on the jar. Without preservatives, a clean spoon matters more than usual.
