Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion finely chopped, small
- 2 teaspoons ginger minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Red hot chili pepper finely chopped, seeds removed if desired, small
- 6-7 green cardamom pods seeds removed and ground
- 4-5 cloves ground
- pinch of salt
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 5 rhubarb peeled and chopped, leaves cut out, medium-sized stalks
- 200 grams or 1 1/2 cups strawberries cut into quarters
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped red onion to the skillet. Sautée for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, then add minced garlic and ginger and finely chopped red pepper. Sautée for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally, then add ground cardamom, cloves and a pinch of salt. Sautée for 1 more minute, stirring frequently. Add the lime juice and apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil. Add brown sugar and stir well until it dissolves.
- Add the chopped rhubarb and reduce the heat. Cook uncovered until the rhubarb breaks down for a silky texture, or for not more than 4 minutes for a chunky consistency. Add the strawberries and cook until they just begin to soften, for about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let cool and fill into clean/sterilized jars. Enjoy!
Notes
- To thicken your chutney, cook it with a lid off, until the liquid evaporates. If it's too thick, just add a bit more lime juice.
- Refrigerate for 7-10 days. To store it longer, fill the chutney into sterilized jars (see the notes above for directions).
- Serve with goat cheese in goat cheese crostini or as a side dish with anything grilled.
