(ZA) Zingy red onion and orange relish


A few years ago, we went to a food fair  where they served Big Green Egg pulled pork with this amazing fresh onion and orange relish. It's taken quite some time to reverse-engineer the recipe but we finally did it and it goes beautifully with belly pork as well as in a bun with pulled pork.






Take two large red onions and slice finely. Place the onion in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to steep for one minute and then drain. Add the juice of five limes (one cup of lime juice), the juice of two oranges and 1tsp malden salt. At this point you could add a very finely chopped fresh red chilli. Mix thoroughly and place in a lidded container in the fridge overnight. The juice will turn pink and the onion will be slightly pickled but still crunchy.
