- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for half an hour
- Serve a generous amount on your grilled or sauteed steak or burger
- You can also add a little Tobasco sauce for a bit of zing!
The chutney in this recipe may be a slight problem to get in the US. In our experience, there are some stores that sell it. It can be found in stores that specialize in selling South African food online, or stores like World Market often have it as well. Maybe our next step is to add a chutney recipe. If you have one, send it to us and we’ll post it 🙂
