Green Tomato And Mint Chutney Recipes

BETTY'S GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, cauliflower, onion, sugar, and 3 cups of vinegar into a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until the sugar has dissolved, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir the flour, turmeric, mustard, curry, nutmeg, clove, and ginger together in a bowl. Stir in the remaining cup of vinegar to create a thin paste. Blend this mixture into the simmering tomatoes. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, then simmer an additional 10 minutes. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator.

OLD FASHIONED GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Add the cloves, chilli, peppercorn and ginger to a glass jar with a 500ml capacity. Add 400-500ml of the vinegar (to the top of the jar) and cover with the lid. Leave to sit for at least 12 hours (but it can be made weeks ahead and will be more flavourful the longer it sits).
• Before using, the vinegar must be strained and the cloves, chilli, pepper and ginger discarded. *Please note you will not need to use all of the spiced vinegar in this recipe. Only 95ml is required (same quantities as Ezy sauce). The rest can be stored in your pantry.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, onions and salt and stir together. Cover and set aside in a refrigerator for 12 hours, overnight if possible.
• Add the tomato mixture (including the excess liquid from the tomatoes) to a large pot. Bring to the boil over low heat. When boiling, add the sugar and 95ml of Ezy sauce (or 95ml of the homemade spiced pickling vinegar) and stir.
• Gently simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure the chutney doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan as it thickens, or it will burn.
• Remove from the heat and stir the relish mix into a chunky paste. Add the mustard powder, curry powder, cornflour and turmeric. Stir and return to a low heat for a further ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the hot chutney to sterilised jars and seal. Enjoy!

GREEN TOMATO AND MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place a large stockpot of water over high heat, and bring to a boil. Cut a 1-foot square of cheesecloth. Place mint in center, and form a bundle; secure with kitchen twine, and set aside. Prepare an ice bath, and set aside.
• Remove core at stem end of each tomato, and cut an "X" in the skin at the other end. Drop tomatoes in boiling water, 3 at a time, and cook until skins begin to loosen or crack, about 8 minutes. Plunge into ice bath. Using a paring knife, peel off skin and discard. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Cut tomatoes into 3/4-inch chunks, and set aside.
• Combine onions, vinegar, mint bundle, sugar, salt, raisins, and 1 cup water in a low-sided, 6-quart saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil.
• Add tomatoes, and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
• Increase heat to high, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until almost all liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and discard the mint bundle.
• Transfer to a large bowl set over an ice bath to chill; store in airtight container, refrigerated, up to 4 weeks.

PORK WITH GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme sprig, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; stir well to coat. Add 1 cup water, the vinegar and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing the tomatoes as they soften, until the mixture thickens but is still chunky, adding a splash of water toward the end if needed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the pork all over with salt, pepper and the chopped thyme. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until just cooked through but still a touch rosy in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes.
• Divide the rice among plates. Stir any accumulated juices from the pork into the tomato chutney along with the parsley. Divide the pork and chutney among the plates. Top with more parsley.

CHUTNEY WITH MINT

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Set over high heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon sticks. At this point, chutney can be cooled and served, or canned: Ladle chutney into clean canning jars, and wipe excess from rims; screw on lids.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, pour in additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed; if it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
• Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Opened jars will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes (you can skin them if you want, but it's not necessary). Finely chop the onions. Layer both in a large bowl with the salt. Leave overnight.
• The next day, chop the sultanas using a large, sharp knife, then peel, core and chop the apples. Put the sugar and vinegar into a large pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sultanas and apples and simmer for 10 mins. Strain the tomatoes and onions in a colander (but don't rinse), then tip into the pan and return to the boil.
• Simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and pulpy. Transfer to warmed jars (see tips, below) and cover with lids.

Steps:

• Pour boiling water (about 2 cups) over the tamarind and let stand until cool. Place a sieve over a bowl and work the tamarind in it with your fingers, pressing the pulp through the sieve and leaving the seeds in it. Add hot water as you work to facilitate the separation of seeds from pulp.
• Put the tamarind pulp and liquid into a deep, heavy pot, add all other ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, or until the mixture is reduced to a saucelike consistency.
• Put the mixture into sterilized jars, cover with canning lids and bands and process in a water-bath canning kettle for 30 minutes. Cool, tighten bands and store until needed.
