Homemade Spicy Mango Chutney
Homemde spicy chutney made with fresh and ripe mangoes from Olhão market. This is very a simple recipe but with quite a few ingredients. You can leave out the chillies if you don’t like anything hot hot HOT and instead replace the heat with with a couple of cloves for extra flavour. I love tangy, hot, spicy relish and chutney with steamed rice, crispy tofu (for recipe click here) and some stir fried veggies, or just smothered on my pappadoms…. ahhhh….delish!

I love autumn/fall! The trees are bursting with fruit, and there’s a huge range on offer at the market, especially good are the mangoes which come in lots of different varieties. The days are now getting shorter here, but the sun is still shining and the birds are all gathering to make their way across the Atlantic ocean to Africa. Longer nights ahead, which means more time to cook and edit videos. Check back soon for more scrumptious food.
Now….cook off!
