Indian green tomato chutney
Did I ever tell you my favorite color is green? I often use the color in my designs, my most worn sweater is green, I like to wander for hours in the woods among trees in all shades of green, I prepare a lot of this color on my daily plate and it will not surprise you that I am not very disappointed if not all my tomatoes turn red or orange. Because yes, this allows me to cook .... Indian green tomato chutney!

This is a great recipe for tomatoes that stubbornly refuse to ripen and it should make about 1kg chutney.
What you need
750g green tomatoes, washed and chopped
350g shallots (or onions), chopped
200g cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
300ml malt vinegar
2 red chillies
small piece fresh root ginger, peeled
a few yellow mustard seeds (optional)
100g raisins
1 tsp salt
200g brown sugar
What you do
Put tomatoes, shallots and apples in a large, heavy-based pan, with half the vinegar.
Bring to the boil then gently cook for about 30 minutes, until tender. Add the chillies, ginger, mustard seeds and the raisins.
Cook on a low heat, stirring from time to time, until the mixture thickens (about 1 hour).
Add the salt, sugar and the rest of the vinegar, stirring well until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened.
Pot into sterilized jars while the chutney is still warm. Seal. Leave for 6 weeks to mature.
