ISO: ISO: Anybody have a "Tomato Chutney" recipe?

In Search Of:
Here's one for you... REC: Tomato Ginger Chutney

I haven't tried this, but the author has served me well in many other recipes. However, I think I would remove the tomato skins before adding to the recipe. The notes suggest serving as an accompaniment to pork, poultry or fish.

Tomato Ginger Chutney
from Home for Dinner by Lucy Waverman

2 T vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 T ginger, finely chopped
1 T garlic, finely chopped
2 fresh tomatoes, seeded & diced
2 T granulated sugar
2 T white vinegar
1 T soy sauce
lemon juice, to taste
fresh coriander, to taste

Heat vegetable oil in skillet on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for a few minutes until softened. Stir in ginger and garlic; cook for about 30 seconds.

Stir in tomatoes and cook until softened. Add sugar, vinegar and soy sauce. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Add lemon juice and coriander, to taste.

Makes about 1 cup.

My Notes: Dip the tomatoes in scalding water for about 30 seconds then, with a slotted spoon, remove to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, remove skins. Then seed and dice.

 
Here's our T&T favorite. REC: Spicy Tomato Chutney

This recipe has been very popular when I cater picnic type events. It's great on meatloaf or roast beef sandwiches -especially if you use a really great bread.
