Make the kitchen a healing space

If life throws green tomatoes at you….. You make green tomato chutney!

October 5, 2014 · Basic recipe · Leave a Comment

Not all my tomatoes have ripened, and as we go deeper into October I’m afraid they never will. That gave me the chance to make this wonderful chutney ( thank you David Lebovitz for the inspiration )
Green tomato and apple chutney


450 g green tomatoes, cored and cut into chunks.

A firm apple, peeled, cored, and cut into small chunks 

2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced

2 dried chilies, split and seeded, or 1 fresh chili, seeded and finely chopped

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup coconut nectar

1-2 tablespoons honey (if you like more sweetness)

1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 teaspoon ground ginger

zest of one orange
Mix together all the ingredients in a suitable pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes, until the mixture is thick and jam-like.
 Once finished, ladle the chutney into clean air tight jars and store in the fridge for max a month.

MY WEEKLY TIP

COOKING CRISIS

 

Staring at the open fridge

Staring at the open fridge

Have you ever found yourself staring at your open fridge or larder, scanning the products and ingredients and have absolutely no idea what to make with them, or what do you feel like eating?
And what if this situation repeats itself again and again over a period of time?
Well, you are experiencing a ‘cooking crisis’. It happens to the best of cooks!
Here are some key strategy solutions to over come the crisis:
1. Go back to basics, opt for the most simple recipes that always work.
2. Make a list of your all time favourites and stick to them for some time till you feel creativity is crawling back.
3. Focus on one ingredient you have or feel like eating and look for recipes using it as the main ingredient.
4. Think of what type of dish you feel like eating; soup, salad, burgers, pie etc. and look for a recipe for that.
5. Cook together with friends and family or initiate potluck dinners. Sharing cooking and eating with others can inspire you and boost your creativity in the kitchen.
