Venezuelan Mango Chutney
Originally from India, chutneys are now part of the Venezuelan repertoire. This delicious mango chutney recipe is easy to prepare and can be used as a base to create a mango BBQ sauce.
- 2 cups diced fresh mangoes ripe but firm
- ¾ cup yellow or red onion finely chopped
- ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 12 black peppercorns
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
Put all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 35-40 minutes until it reaches the consistency of a jam.
Discard the cinnamon stick and let it completely cool down.
Store in a jar with a lid or an airtight container and refrigerate.
