Tomato chutney is a wonderful condiment that is extremely versatile. We like to pair it with roasted vegetables, chicken, and lamb. It is also great teamed with a block of cheese and a little toasted bread. Anyway you use it, you’ll LOVE it!
This recipe is based on a dish served at Disney World’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in 2009. It was featured in that year’s festival cookbook. At the festival, the original chutney was used as a topping for lamb sliders on brioche rolls. Delicious!
My recipe, included below, has a touch handful of extra spice. Now it’s not spicy hot, like eating a scotch bonnet pepper. The Indian spices of cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, and turmeric ses off this chutney. There is just something earthy about these flavors. They’re comforting and perfect for year around cooking.
