East African Tomato Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion, garlic and chilli for a few mins until softened. Stir in the chutney, Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise. Taste and season.
• Arrange the chicken on a foil-lined baking tray and spoon over the chutney mixture. Roast the chicken in the oven for 40-45 mins until cooked through and sticky. Serve with a green salad.

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients into a large heavy-based pan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Simmer for 1 hr, then bring to a gentle boil so that the mixture turns dark, jammy and shiny. Place into sterilised jars and allow to cool before covering. Will keep for 6 weeks.

Steps:

• Slowly bring all ingredients to the boil in a large saucepan, stir until sugar dissolves, reduce heat.
• Simmer, covered for approx 2 hours or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally.
• Allow to stand for 5 mins before spooning into sterilised jars. Seal immediately.
• When cool, label & date.

Steps:

• Take a non stick heavy bottom pan and heat the oil.
• Put bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon first and then add onion, garlic, salt and black pepper powder.
• Saute for 2 minutes and add chopped tomatoes, salt and sugar.
• Keep covered and stirring for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are soft.
• Allow to cool to the room temperature.
• Add nutmeg now.
• Put the mixture in the blender and blend till smooth (Remove bay leaves before blending).
• Fill in a sterilised jar and keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Add about 2 tbsp. water to halved cherry or grape tomatoes in a sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer until tomatoes are softened and slightly broken up, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in onions, cilantro, parsley, jalapeno, lemon juice and salt.
• Let flavors meld for about an hour, then serve, preferably at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the chopped garlic, ginger and 1/2 cup of the vinegar into the container of an electric blender and blend at high speed until smooth.
• In a 4-quart, heavy-bottomed pot with non-metallic finish, place the tomatoes and juice from the can, the rest of the vinegar, the sugar, salt and cayenne pepper (or, if you prefer, add the cayenne at the end, a little at a time, stirring and tasting as you do so).
• Bring to a boil.
• Add puree from blender.
• Lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until chutney becomes thick.
• (A film should cling to a spoon dipped in it.) Stir occasionally at first, and more frequently later as it thickens.
• You may need to lower the heat as the liquid diminishes.
• You should end up with 2 1/2 cups of chutney, and it should be atleast as thick as honey after it cools.
• If the canned tomatoes you used have a lot of liquid in them, a longer cooking time may be required, resulting in a little less chutney.
• Add the almonds and the raisins.
• Simmer, stirring, another 5 minutes.
• Turn heat off and allow to cool.
• Bottle.
• Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Place cherry tomatoes in a medium saucepan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and let cook until tomatoes are soft and broken.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the white onion, green onion, cilantro, and chile peppers. Add hot cooked tomatoes, and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
