Tomato, chilli and ginger chutney

Not yet rated

This spicy tomato chutney recipe from Josh Eggleton is the perfect accompaniment to cold cuts and cheese, or could be slathered on a sandwich or burger. Josh in particular recommends serving this with his veggie burger recipe, with the fiery chilli and tangy tomato chutney acting as a pepped up ketchup.

Method

1
Drain the chopped tomatoes through a sieve placed over a bowl. Reserve about a quarter of the juice captured in the bowl, discarding the rest (or save to use in a stew or bolognese)
2
Place the roughly chopped chillies, shallots, ginger and garlic in a blender and blitz to form a smooth paste. Transfer to a heavy-bottomed saucepan along with the sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds and reserved tomato juice
3
Bring the mixture to a boil over a medium heat then simmer until reduced by a third. Add in the reserved drained tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste
4
Turn the heat down slightly and cook gently for about 1–1.5 hours until the chutney is thick and shiny. Allow to cool before serving. The chutney can be stored in a non-metallic container in the fridge for up to 1 month
