Method

Step 1

Put a large saucepan on a medium heat and add 1 tbsp of oil. Put the onions, ginger and garlic into a pan and sweat until golden brown. 

 

Step 2

Add in all the herbs and spices into the pan and lightly toast until aromatic. A splash of water here would help prevent the spices from burning.

 

Step 3

Add in all the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Turn down the heat and bring to a light simmer for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

 

Step 4

Place a lid on and leave to cook for approximately 2-3 hours on low or until a sticky consistency is formed and the chutney coats the back of a spoon.

 

Step 5

Check the chutney for seasoning and spice. Once happy, this chutney can be kept in a sealed, sterilised jar for up to 3 months. Alternatively 1 month in a container in the fridge.

 

Slow cooker method

Alternatively, place all ingredients in a slow cooker and leave on high for 1 hour 30 minutes and then turn down to low for a further 2-3 hours.
