Puréed Fresh Mango Ginger Chutney Recipes

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Cut the mango flesh away from the pit. The pit is shaped similar to an obelisk, so you'll end up with 2 large pieces and 2 smaller pieces from each mango. Roughly chop the flesh.
• In a saute pan heat the oil and add the chile flakes. Be careful not to burn the chile, just toast to flavor the oil. Add the onions and sweat until soft. Add the ginger and bell pepper and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Finally add the mango and cook for 1 more minute.
• In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, and curry powder. Add this mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer and reduce for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Add the raisins and the nuts and transfer to another container over an ice bath. I used a mild yellow curry powder, but if you want it hotter go for red.

GINGER MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Pop the mango, while still in the container, into the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• While the mango is freezing, wash the mason jar and lid thoroughly.
• In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, add ginger preserves and cayenne pepper. Once the preserves begin to boil, turn off the heat and pull saucepan off to the side. Stir in frozen mango and salt. When the chutney is at room temperature, pour it into the jar and cover with a lid. Place in refrigerator.
• Chutney will last up to 1 month in refrigerator.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Peel mangoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small bowl toss mangoes with vinegar, sugar, salt, and raisins.
• Make seasoning paste:
• Cut gingerroot into 4 pieces. For a milder chutney, wearing rubber gloves, remove seeds and veins from Thai chilies or jalapeño. To a food processor with motor running add gingerroot, chilies, and remaining seasoning paste ingredients, 1 at a time through feed tube, and purée to a paste.
• Heat a 4-quart heavy kettle over moderately low heat until hot. Cook seasoning paste, cinnamon stick, and star anise in oil, stirring frequently, 10 minutes, or until very fragrant. Stir in mango mixture and simmer, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mangoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and star anise and cool chutney completely. Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, about 1 month.

PURéED GREEN MANGO CHUTNEYS

Place the mango pieces and the ginger, green chili peppers, scallions, curry leaves, and salt in a food processor or a blender, and process until minced. Remove to a serving bowl. Add some of the sugar if the chutney seems to tart.2. Heat the oil in a small nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and add the red chili peppers and mustard seeds they should splutter upon contact with the hot oil, so lower the heat and cover the pan until the spluttering subsides. Quickly add the fenugreek seeds and asafoetida, stir 30 seconds, then add this seasoning mixture to the chutney, with parts of it visible as a garnish.
