tomato BLACK GARLIC chutney recipe
SHARED BY GARLIC MATTERS
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 1 hour | Serves: 1⅓ cup
Ingredients
2 lbs organic, ripe tomatoes, cored, skin on, roughy sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
8 Black Garlic cloves, sliced finely
Salt
Directions
Place all ingredients (apart from salt) in a wide pan/saucepan and simmer uncovered for about 1h until most of runny moisture has evaporated and you’re left with a jam consistency mixture. Remember to stir it now and again.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve cold or warm.
Store refrigerated for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Use only the organic, fully ripe, sun bathed tomatoes as they are the guardians of the best flavor and nutrition tomatoes can give.
Leave them tomato skins on! They cook through really nicely and, apart from the nutrition and extra flavor, they add a lovely texture you’ll want to hold onto in your chutney. If you peel the skins off the toms it will turn into a mushy-mashy-marmalade/jam instead.
Use a wide pan or a wide saucepan and don’t cover it. The wider the pan the more evaporating space and quicker the reduction process. If you use a deep saucepan things will take much longer.
