MINT CHUTNEY



Mint Chutney image

In Desi cooking, mint chutney enlivens eggs, kormas, biriyanis, sandwiches and many other dishes, adding a sour, spicy and fresh cooling sweetness. Where it really sings, though, is as an accompaniment to samosas and chaats. Use Greek yogurt if you want a creamy chutney. Depending on preference, you can skip the raw garlic.

Time 5m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup loosely packed cilantro with stems
2 cups loosely packed mint leaves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds or 1 teaspoon cumin powder
3 to 5 Thai green chiles, stemmed
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or water
2 garlic cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth and thick enough to hold at the lip of a spoon without any liquid running. The chunky bits should not separate from the liquid. The consistency of the chutney will probably depend on the strength of the blender, and a chunky chutney made with a lower powered blender tastes just as good as a very smooth one. The chutney can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

GINGER PEAR CHUTNEY



Ginger Pear Chutney image

Great way to use up pears, including recent windfalls as they've got to be peeled and chopped anyway. Nice with pork or as a condiment with curry. Very gingery. It gets better as it ages.

Provided by Kathleen Constance

Categories     Chutneys

Time 2h30m

Yield 12-14 half pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 cups peeled chopped pears
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup seedless raisin
1 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 cups cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • In large preserving kettle or dutch oven, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours, continuing to stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Add lids and rings and process jars in a boiling water bath in a canner for 15 minutes. Take the canner off the heat and let water stop boiling before removing jars. Carefully remove jars and let sit. As they cool, the jars will seal themselves with a"pop". Label, and store in cool, dry, dark place.
  • To prepare the jars, I first wash them in the dishwasher, or in the sink with very hot, soapy water, then rinse them well and put them in a warm oven, taking the jars out one or two at a time when filling them.
  • I soak the lids in very hot water and put them immediately from the hot water onto the filled jars, making sure the rims of the jars are clean, then add the rings (which I've also soaked in hot water) and screw them on the jars just finger tight.

2 firm green pears - peeled, cored and halved
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, but not overripe, pears for the best flavor and texture in your chutney.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a bright, refreshing flavor to the chutney. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the chutney: The chutney should be cooked until the pears are soft and the sauce has thickened, but don't overcook it, or the pears will become mushy.
  • Taste the chutney as you cook it: Adjust the sugar and vinegar to taste. You may want to add more sugar if you like a sweeter chutney, or more vinegar if you prefer a tangier chutney.
  • Let the chutney cool before serving: The chutney will thicken as it cools. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving, or store it in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Pear and mint chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is perfect for serving with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a topping for sandwiches and wraps. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a glaze for grilled fish. With its sweet, tangy, and refreshing flavor, pear and mint chutney is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
