I am an avid
maker of chutney, as you all know. I'm sure when I talk about chutneys and
provide you with a yummy recipe, most of you probably just glaze over and move
on. My guess is that you do so because you think it is solely for use with
Indian food. You couldn't be more wrong. Chutney is a wonderful, spicy-sweet
condiment that can be used in many ways to pep up even the most mundane of
dishes.
Over the weekend I turned two beautiful Melissa’s Keitt Mangoes into mango chutney. I did so in order to make this recipe for Spicy Shrimp Salad with Mango. Without the chutney this is just another shrimp salad, with the chutney it is sophisticated, flavorful, and exotic. It gives it that certain je ne sais quoi that makes it both delicious and memorable.

cheese bread, or make lettuce wraps. Yum!

You have the most interesting recipes...I have tried most of them and not been disappointed. This is another one I will be trying. I have never made chutney because I am not a fan of raisins, but this does sound good. I know I won't find currants locally so will just leave them out...everything else I usually have on hand. Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits, never had them cooked, either. Thanks for posting great recipes on a regular basis, Pattie.
