Pineapple, mango and passion fruit chutney (vegan)

Jump to Recipe

Like most Indians I tend to make a selection of chutneys and pickles to serve with our food.  I remember my mum and MIL coming up with different variations of chutneys and raitas depending on what was available at the time.  I too tend to make chutneys out of whatever is available in my fridge or cupboard.  I don’t believe in wasting anything.  I came up with this creation after seeing a mango, passion fruit and an open can of diced pineapple  in my fridge.  This gave me an opportunity to create a tropical chutney to enjoy this week with my meals and sandwiches.  And best of – this chutney is vegan!!   You can change some of the ingredients to make this chutney as hot or as sweet you like depending on personal taste.

Ingredients

• 1 tin diced pineapple ( 432 gms)
• 1 medium sized fresh mango – peeled and chopped
• 1 fresh passion fruit ( use the pulp and seeds)
• 1 tbls lemon juice
• 1 tbls sugar
• 2 green Kenyan chilies (hotter the better)
• 1 dried red chili
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp raw fennel seeds for garnishing and flavour

Method:

1. Combine the diced pineapple and its juices, the diced mango, passion fruit pulp, lemon juice,
sugar, green chilies, the red chili and salt in a saucepan.

2. Allow this to cook until the mangoes and pineapple soften. This could take about about 10
to 12 minutes.

3. Once cooked, blend the mixture using a potato masher or stick blender if you wish.  Add the fennel seeds.  The seeds will soften and give a lovely taste to this tropical chutney.

4. Allow to cool and bottle it to use with 7-10 days.  The chutney is perfect with Indian meals and as a sandwich spread too.
