Tomato Lemon Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Place the green tomatoes, tomatillos, raisins, onion, brown sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice, chili powder, crystallized ginger, and brown mustard seed into a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat, and simmer the chutney until thickened, 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep chutney from burning on the bottom.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the chutney into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 to 20 minutes, or the time recommended by your county Extension office.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Any uncanned chutney can be refrigerated or frozen.

Steps:

• Place 1 teaspoon of the salt, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the water and lemon pieces in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer slowly for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving the lemon pieces and the liquid.
• Bring a medium-size saucepan of water to the boil. Add the tomatoes and blanch for 10 seconds. Pull the skin off the tomatoes and cut them into large dice. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the shallots and cook until soft, but not brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, the remaining sugar and 1 tablespoon of the reserved lemon liquid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is thick, about 35 minutes. Stir in the lemon slices, the vinegar, remaining salt and pepper. Let cool and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• On a dinner plate, mix together the flour, tumeric and cumin. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour mixture. In a large saute pan on high heat, coat lightly with oil and pan sear the fillets until brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes a side. Let fish rest 5 minutes to carry over before serving. In a medium, non-reactive saucepan on medium heat, coat lightly with oil and saute the onions and ginger until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the preserved lemons, tomatoes and juice. Season and check for flavor. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until tomatoes are melted. Pull off stove and keep at room temperature. Check again for seasoning. Add the parsley right before serving.
• In a large saute pan, coat with olive oil and saute the garlic and shallots until soft, about 2 minutes. Season and add shiitakes. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and deglaze with wine. Reduce by 50 percent then add orzo to heat thoroughly. Right before serving, stir in basil oil.
• PLATING: Place a small mound of orzo in the middle of the white dinner plate. Top with fillet of Mahi and top the fish with the chutney. Drizzle some basil oil and garnish with parsley.

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.

Steps:

• Halve the tomatoes, remove the seeds, chop the flesh and place in a sieve over a bowl so the excess juices can drain away.
• Put the onion and coriander into a bowl. Heat the oil and fry the cumin seeds for about 30 seconds then tip them into the bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, cover and chill.
• To serve, add some salt (see tip below) and serve.

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle combine all ingredients. Cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes more, or until thickened and reduced to about 2 1/2 cups. Chutney keeps chilled, covered, 3 months.

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.
