A little Indian recipe of my own concoction - dates, raisins, onions, balsamic vinegar and port are simmered to make a luscious brown chutney.

Here is a nice little chutney I did to go with my Weekend Tandoorist plate - just watch me. Proportions are approximate and depend on your personal taste. This one is my own invention.

Soak 1 cup of raisin in as much Port as you need to cover them.

Peel the onions ...

... until you have 9 medium onions.

Cut each onion in half and slice thinly.

Reserve and heat a few tablespoons oil or ghee in a large pot with a heavy bottom.

Fry the onion on medium heat, turning from time to time. This will take about 20 minutes until the onions are all brown and soft.

Meanwhile take about 2 cups of fresh dates.

Slice lengthwise and pit each date.

Then slice crosswise...

... and reserve.

Before you throw it away, have a look a those beautiful date pits and branches.
