Caramelized Onion & Apple Chutney
Sticky & sweet, this caramelized onion & apple chutney gets it’s tang from balsamic vinegar that’s cut by creamy goat cheese. A perfect app for guest or devouring alone! So let’s dig in.
Let me start by saying this, I BARELY shared this with my family. I’ve even saved some chutney and tucked waaayyy in the back of the fridge…ssshh! Immediately after eating this, I knew I should have doubled the recipe.
I love anything that has balsamic vinegar. The way it cooks down with added sugar and creates a sticky sauce that’s just so perfect…hits you right in the taste buds. The apples team well with the creamy, cool goat cheese to give this a bright lift, and the caramelized onions & garlic add deep flavor. Finally, red pepper flakes round out the flavor with a quick kick of heat.
Here’s a tip for you, don’t just roast one head of garlic. Since your putting in the time, throw in a couple heads, then store what you don’t use in a container in the fridge. Roasted garlic is something you can add to so many recipes. When garlic is cooked down, it loses its peppery bite, and takes on a more buttery feel and flavor.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your garlic on a sheet pan or any other oven safe container and roast for about 50 minutes to an hour or until garlic becomes soft.
In the meantime, heat a skillet on the stovetop, add the oil, and caramelize the onions.
Squeeze cooled garlic bulb into the saucepan along with onions, sugar, vinegar, apple & pepper flakes.
Once the ingredients come to a boil, reduce heat and add the cornstarch thickener.
Simmer until chutney thickens.
Try it this way:
Lightly toast naan bread in a skillet, spread goat cheese, and add a dollop of chutney.
Top off with leafy greens like arugula.

Thanks Miranda! The say “You eat with your eyes first” so photos are definitely important in capturing a delicious recipe. It didn’t last long in our house, hope you love like we did.
drooling!! wonder if this could be done in the oven?
Sorry my reply is coming so late 🙁 Yes I would say a light toast in the oven would give it a great crunch, I would just add the goat cheese after it comes out. That’ll allow the cheese to lightly melt without being too runny.
