What can you eat chutney with? 

Chutney is a unique condiment that combines sweetness with a variety of fruits, vegetables, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Originating from India, chutney has adapted to Western cuisine, offering a wide range of uses and combinations that can transform any dish into a unique gastronomic experience. It’s undeniably tasty, but sometimes people just don’t know how to use it. So given the confusion, here’s some cracking ideas that will leave you salivating. 

Ideas for eating chutney:

• Make a dressing: Blend some chutney with something acidic (vinegar, lemons or lime) and olive oil to create a delicious salad dressing.
• Add it to your cheese board: Chutney pairs perfectly with a cheese board, from soft cheeses like camembert and brie, to cured, salty cheeses like aged sheep’s or goat’s cheese. Whack a nice selection onto a cheese board at your next dinner party, and your guests will be putty in your hands.
• Use it for marinating: Chutney is excellent for marinating chicken, fish, or pork, giving them a deep, rich and complex flavour.
• Stuffing for meats: Use chutney as stuffing for pork loin, chicken, or roasted turkey.
• Accompaniment for pork: Serve chutney as a condiment for pork dishes, like sausages, ham or chops.
• Glaze: Use chutney as a glaze for meats like beef, chicken, pork, or fish.
• Deserts: Add a layer of chutney on top of a cheesecake, ice cream or Greek yoghurt for a sweet and spicy touch.
• With curry: Pair your favourite curries with some chutney to temper the heat and give a perfect balance of flavours.
