Fiery Tomato and Mustard Seed Chutney

This simple chutney is a fantastic accompaniment to cheese.

Preparation time :	15 minutes
Cooking time :	1 minute
Total time :	16 minutes

Serves: 8

Ingredients

6 tomatoes (about 500g), roughly chopped
2 red onions, very thinly sliced
2 red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
4cm piece root ginger, finely chopped
100g light brown muscovado sugar
100ml red wine vinegar
2tsp black mustard seeds

Method

Place all the ingredients in a large pan and bring to the boil.
Simmer gently for an hour until the liquid has evaporated and the onion is tender. If it starts to dry out too quickly, add a splash of water.
Leave to cool, then chill until ready to serve. There’s enough here to fill two 250g jam jars – put into sterilised jars, store in the fridge and use within a week. Best served at room temperature.

Cook's tips

This chutney is also suitable for freezing and will keep for up to two
months. It is ideal served with Waitrose Marcel Petite’s Morbier and Occelli Tuma
dla Paja cheeses.
