Bowen mango chutney
Bowen mango chutney with caramelized onions, apples and nigella seeds.
This is the yummiest, most delicious chutney for Christmas. It goes really well with your Christmas Ham, Turkey, or any cold meats. It is fairly mild, but has a good hit of mango, caramelised onions and acidity from the vinegar. If you can’t find nigella seeds, you can substitute with caraway seeds, black sesame seeds or celery seeds. This is an easy recipe and is great as a Christmas gift.
