Apple, Ginger and Mint Relish with Cranberries
This Apple, Mint and Cranberry Relish is inspired by this original.
It is as easy and flavorful as the picture perfect fall weather that we have been enjoying.
Festive Season for Me
Attending the Stamford Durga Puja yesterday, and an Arrantegram today is plenty of festive action for me.
Rainy Day Weather
The kids love the concept of cheese oothapams.
A baseline recipe that you will find in the Spices and Seasons cookbook. Today, I was left over with the batter but no side chutney.
Anything on the world of tiffin creations only work when there are condiments to complement them. This chutney that happily came together with the honey crisp apple in my refrigerator. A lone remnant of last week’s loot. This is perfect for the 15 minute creation that happily came together in my kitchen. The kids were happy with all their finery and Aadi was finally old enough to be mesmerized and fascinated by the myth and legend of Durga Puja.
I think holidays are also a time of reflection and peace, earlier this month, my tranquility was abruptly shattered by various events, I am glad to things back to normal and also grateful to have the blessings of a happy and peaceful season. Back to this delicate relish, while it is certainly perfect with the mini paniyarans that I served them with, chances are you will enjoy it on your Thanksgiving table as well.
A sweet tart seasonal relish with Apples, Ginger and Cranberries.
Ingredients
- 1 large red apple
- 3/4 teaspoon oil
- 3/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 11/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced mint
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 11/2 teaspoons dried cranberries (preferably unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Core the apple and grate the apple, with the skin still on. As I am asking you to leave the skin on you are best served using organic apples.
- Heat the oil and add in the mustard seeds and wait for the seeds to pop. Add in the grated ginger and stir well.
- Add in the grated apples and stir for a minute and mix in the mint and salt.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the cranberries and the lime juice. Let the flavors rest before serving.
