Ingredients
Honeycrisp apples – 500 g
Onion - 1 small onion (Variation: shallots - 2 pcs. or fennel - ½ onion)
Honey - 2-3 tbsp.
Apple cider vinegar - 2 tbsp.
Raisins – 40 g
Fresh ginger (grated) - 1 tsp.
Garlic - 1 clove
Cinnamon - ½ tsp.
Mustard seeds - ½ tsp.
Olive oil - 1 tbsp.
Salt - to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Wash the Honeycrisp apples, remove the core and cut into small cubes.
The peel can be peeled or left as desired - without it the chutney will be more tender.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan or saucepan and fry the onion over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until soft.
If you use shallots, the recipe does not change. If you choose fennel, keep it on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add grated ginger, garlic and mustard seeds. Heat for about another minute to release the aromas of the spices.
Step 4
Add chopped apples, raisins, cinnamon, honey and apple cider vinegar. Stir.
Step 5
Cook over low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should soften and the sauce should thicken.
Step 6
Taste the chutney and add a little salt or more honey if necessary to balance the flavor.
