When late summer rolls around, I can usually find green tomatoes to make my delicious Green Tomato Chutney. I cook a big pot of it in my slow cooker, and can it to use throughout the year. But sometimes I miss the green tomato season because I’m out of town or slow to get to the Farmers Market. That was a bummer until I realized I could use green tomatillos.
Recipe Development
Because I like the chutney so much, one year I decided to make some and give it away for Christmas. I thought others would enjoy it, too, and I was right. But it was tough to find the ingredients. At Christmastime, there are no green tomatoes. I took a chance and subsituted tomatillos, which are readily available year round at one of the ethnic groceries in Harrisonburg. Wow, it was good! Tomatillos add a little lemony flavor to the chutney. Using tomatillos instead of green tomatoes is my preferred way to make chutney now.
My original chutney recipe came from a fabulous cookbook, Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker (affiliate link) by Robin Robertson. Robertson’s recipes are always delicious and she has published several vegan and vegetarian cookbooks. I highly recommend her cookbooks.
How to Store and Serve Chutney
Chutney lasts up to one month in a tightly-sealed container in the refrigerator. When we made it, Don and I canned several pint jars of it to give away for gifts, and canned chutney, of course, can be put in the pantry and kept for a year or more.
I love this Tomatillo Chutney over chicken, rice or beans. I have taken it to a potluck with some warm diced chicken mixed in, and it was a hit. If you would like a complete meal, mix in a cup or cup-and-a-half of cooked rice. Or simply serve it over rice.
What You Need
You need a knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, and a slow cooker. It’s best to can your chutney so get yourself a good canner.
