Spiced Ruby and Emerald Indian Pepper Relish - Chutney image

This Anglo-Indian recipe is more a relish than a chutney, but it can be used like a chutney in cooking, as well as a condiment. A real "must" in this recipe are the Nigella Seeds, also known as Black Onion Seeds - these give the Relish/Chutney an authentic Indian flavour, as well as making it very special. It is delicious with all types of cheese boards, cold cuts and meat platters, burgers, sausages, curries and also when used in sandwiches. My daughter loves this in toasted cheese sandwiches! Or, give a jar as a gift as I often do! I couldn't resist giving it a "magical" name, especially as India is famous for its Rubies and Emeralds!

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 green peppers, cored, seeded and diced
3 red peppers, cored, seeded and diced
1 lb onion, skinned and roughly chopped
1 lb tomatoes, roughly diced

Steps:

  • Place all the prepared vegetables and fruit into a large preserving pan.
  • Add the spices, sugar and vinegar and give them all a good stir.
  • Bring them all to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until everything is soft; but make sure that the peppers still retain their shape. (Also make sure that the liquids have reduced and the relish is thick and holds together well).
