Summer has gone but some of my tomatoes didn’t ripen, My partners dad told me wrapping them in news paper does the trick but I’m a lover of all food that’s Indian and chutney so this was a win win.
1lb 6oz green tomatoes, quartered 6oz light brown sugar
6 floz white wine vinegar
1 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 red chilli, chopped
4oz sultanas
Add the sugar to a heavy bottom high sided pan over a medium heat until it’s all melted, add the vinegar but stand back as the smell is very over powering, stir until all the sugar has dissolved.
Add the chilli, garlic, sultanas, ginger, onion and tomatoes, stir and cook on a simmer covered for 1 hour checking and stirring occasionally, when it’s nice and thick it’s ready.
I’ve always had a passion for cooking and creating recipes from an early age.
I have battled with alcoholism for many years and cooking has helped me to overcome these demons. Through ten years of active alcoholism I tried to maintain an interest in cooking and food and have gained many skills.
I’m living a sober life now and I know personally how hard it is to struggle financially, so that’s what inspired me to combine cooking with budgeting.
I find cooking a massive outlet to express myself.
I volunteered at a soup kitchen providing meals for people who were effected by alcohol and drug abuse. The food was provided by a local food bank and consisted of basic ingredients and I was challenged to create substantial, nourishing and flavoursome meals.
Its amazing what you can do with a little imagination, and how many you can actually feed on a tight budget.
