Chutneys are delicacies that originated in India to preserve fruits and vegetables. Sweet, tart, chunky and with a bit of fire, that’s what makes a good chutney complex, intriguing and incredibly versatile. You can serve chutneys with curries, summer cheese platters or grilled vegetables. Mix them with some honey or agave syrup and add fruit. Stir into low-fat mayonnaise or creamy tofu and serve as a dip.
Chutney preparation is always based on the same principle: fruit and/or vegetables are cooked in a hot liquid with vinegar, sugar and spices until the mixture is reduced and thickened. Chutney is easy to make and modify. After making a few different chutneys, you’ll learn to adjust the amount of spices to suit your tastes on your own.
