Description

Fresh Mint Chutney

Ingredients

  • 1 quart fresh orange juice

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds (about 1 ounce)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, bring the orange juice to a boil over high heat. Boil until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 30 minutes. Transfer the orange syrup to a medium bowl, add the cayenne and let cool.

2. Meanwhile, toast the almonds on a small baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until golden. Let cool. Transfer to a mini-processor and pulse until finely ground, or mince with a knife. Add the almonds to the orange syrup along with the mint, maple syrup and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

MAKE AHEAD:
The chutney can be refrigerated overnight. Let return to room temperature before serving.
