Spicy Tomato Chutney: A Flavorful Snack Companion
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes, crushed with juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat the oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Warm until shimmering for about 1 minute.
2. Sauté the onion: Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook until the onion is translucent and soft, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Add aromatics: Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
4. Spice it up: Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes and ground allspice. Stir for 30 seconds to release the flavors.
5. Tomato base: Mix in the tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute to deepen the flavors before adding the crushed tomatoes and their juice.
6. Flavor balance: Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Thicken the chutney: Allow the chutney to simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. Cool and serve: Once the chutney has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Serve as a savory snack companion with crusty bread, cheese, or charcuterie.
