Place your onions directly onto the embers of your wood fire or directly on the base of the pizza oven. Cook for 35-40 mins turning occasionally. Don’t be afraid of burying them under some lumps of burnt down wood that form in the oven.
To test if they are ready insert the tip of a knife through the blackened crust and into the heart of the onion. It should feel soft and tender.
Slice the onions in half and simply scoop out the onion flesh with a teaspoon. Roughly chop and place into a small saucepan with your vinegar, sugar and spices. Return to the pizza oven to cook for 5-10 mins. The vinegar and molasses should reduce slightly and you’ll be left with a dark, sticky marmalade texture.
Whilst the chutney is cooling roast your radishes in your oven with their tops until blistered and chargrilled. Serve the wood fired radish with your dirty onion marmalade.
