Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 small yellow onion diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 medium red chilies sliced thin or diced, remove the seeds for less spice
  • 2 cups pineapple ½ a fresh pineapple cut into pieces, or canned pineapple tidbits or pieces drained
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or pan to medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Toast the seeds, stirring constantly for 30 seconds.
  • Add the onion, ginger, and chilis and sauté them for about 1-2 minutes to soften them.
  • Turn off the burner. Mix in the pineapple and cilantro.
  • Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use pineapple packed in juice without added sugar.
  • If using canned pineapple, drain it first. Save the extra juice to make sweet and sour sauce later in the week.
  • ​Cut pineapple rings or chunks into small pieces if using.
  • Store chutney in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days. Mix it before serving.
  • For a sweeter chutney, add ½ a teaspoon of date sugar or maple syrup.
