RANY'S TOMATO-MEYER LEMON CHUTNEY



Rany's Tomato-Meyer Lemon Chutney image

Rany's original recipe used fresh, ripe roma tomatoes. If you can get some, then by all means use them. Otherwise, you can use canned crushed tomatoes, but be sure to use the finest quality. Make sure they contain nothing other than tomatoes. Or, crack open a jar of the ones you canned earlier this year. You did can some, right? Right?

Provided by Food Network

Categories     condiment

Yield 3 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp safflower oil
2 oz garlic, finely minced
1-1/4 lb fresh, ripe roma tomatoes, or 2 c. crushed tomatoes
1 tsp kosher salt
3 fresh cayenne peppers, minced, or 1/2 tsp chili pepper flake
1 bay leaf
1 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 c. sugar
1 small meyer lemon, chopped finely, skin on but seeds and pith removed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently saute the garlic until fragrant; do not brown. Add the salt, peppers, bay leaf and tomatoes and give a good stir. Turn up the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the skins start to separate from the tomatoes. Add the lemon juice and the sugar, and reduce the heat. Keep the mixture at a low, murmuring simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes. When the liquid is reduced and thickened, add the lemons and remove from heat. Remove bay leaf. If canning, ladle into hot jars and process by normal water bath methods.

LEMON CHUTNEY CHICKEN



Lemon Chutney Chicken image

Make and share this Lemon Chutney Chicken recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Wendys Kitchen

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 chicken pieces
1 cup chutney
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Mix sauce ingredients together.
  • Pour over chicken.
  • Bake in 180 C oven for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, making them a good choice for chutney. If using regular lemons, you may want to add a little sugar to balance the tartness.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic will give your chutney the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger or garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the chutney: Lemon chutney should be cooked until it is thick and syrupy, but not so long that it becomes too thick and jammy. Overcooked chutney will also lose its bright flavor.
  • Let the chutney cool completely before storing it: This will help the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Store the chutney in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Lemon chutney is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is great on sandwiches, wraps, and salads. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to use lemons, try making a batch of lemon chutney. You won't be disappointed!
