Finely slice the onions and grate the carrots, and add to a pot on a low heat with the salt and olive oil, give it a good stir and plonk a lid on and leave for about 20 mins.

Once they have started to soften a bit add the bay leaf, sugar, vinegar and Worcester sauce, stir again and leave for another 20 mins with the lid on, making sure it doesn't burn, if its sticking add a bit more vinegar and/or a splash of water.

When its cooked the carrots and onions should be soft and a lovely brown colour, add a splash or four of Tabasco and a shake of pepper, stir again, turn the heat off and leave to cool in the pan with the lid on.

When cooled transfer to a kilner jar or a jam jar. This should keep in the fridge for a good few weeks.
