 Originally intended for green tomatoes, this recipe is a great way to use up all those old tomatoes still left on the vine that for some reason or another never completely ripened. You know, the ones that get wrinkly before they are ripe, they always stay kind of hard and small. I assume most people throw those in the compost heap, but I’m a frugal Midwestern gal who can’t throw anything away.

A vibrant chutney like this is made for pork chops, or really pork of any kind, but you could also serve it with grilled chicken or spread over goat cheese on toasted bread.

Spicy Tomato Chutney Recipe

Adapted from Sarah Schafer, Irving Street Kitchen, Portland, Oregon The chutney will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

  • Yield: 2 Cups 1x
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 1/4 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced white onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons minced jalapenos (seeds optional)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced

Instructions

  1. Wrap bay leaf, cardamom and mustard seeds in a cheesecloth and tie together with a piece of twine. Combine vinegar, wine, water, and sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Add spices and stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and let cook until syrupy and reduced by two-thirds, about 40 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, jalapenos, and garlic and season with salt. Cook until tender, then add tomatoes and syrup. Season once again with salt then bring to a simmer and let cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes. Add mustard and cayenne and cook about 10 minutes more, discard the spices.
  3. Heat remaining oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add peppers and season with salt. Cook until tender then add to chutney. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
