Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp flavorless oil 15 mL
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ medium white onion finely chopped
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • ½ cup white sugar 100 g
  • ½ cup white vinegar 120 mL
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 3 large mangoes, peeled and chopped about 3 heaping cups, frozen works too

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Saute: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then saute garlic, onion, and ginger until onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Simmer: Add the onion mixture to a large pot along with the rest of the ingredients. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium/low heat. Cook uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  3. Mash: Mash with a fork or potato masher to break down remaining large mango chunks (smaller pieces are fine). Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Less sugar: If you’re into sugar substitutes, they work well in this recipe. I’ve used Truvia (a natural Stevia sweetener) with success!
  • Storage: Keep leftover mango chutney in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
