Chutney is a wonderful condiment to add into to your regular line up. It brings such a bright sweet and acidic flavor to any dish. This chutney is made with tart green apples, savory red onions, and a powerful punch of ginger.
This is my own rendition of chutney that I created specifically for the flavor profile I was looking for. It's really easy to make and will keep for a quite a while.
Whenever you feel like something may be missing from a dish, often it is just a touch of acidity. Adding just a little will bring much more depth to your dish and lift anything that might be feeling heavy or flat.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp oil
1 onion diced
3 green apples chopped
2 inches of minced ginger
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Garam Masala
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, add the onion and sauté for a few minutes until just softened. Add in the remaining ingredients to the pot and reduce to a simmer. Allow to cook for 1 hour stirring occasionally. You won't need to cover it, it will need to reduce down quite a bit, only cover if it starts to look a little too dry.
Let cool and pour into a jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze until ready to use.
