The many uses of leftover chutney, from breakfast to soups and glazes | Kitchen aide

"Chutney: The Underappreciated Condiment with a Multitude of Uses"

If you're like many home cooks, you've received an abundance of chutney at holiday gatherings or gift exchanges only to be left with a treasure trove of nearly untouched jars. It's time to rethink this beloved condiment and consider its potential in various recipes.

According to Claire Dinhut, author of The Condiment Book, starting with breakfast is an excellent place to begin. "You might not think so," she says, "but chutney brings a tangy flavor similar to lemon that complements avocado toast perfectly." Her advice also extends to the humble breakfast bap: pairing spicy or sweet chutneys like mango, peach, or tomato with egg yolks creates a surprisingly delightful combination.

Pastry experts like Roger Pizey from Fortnum & Mason concur. "Sometimes we have so much leftover that I'm stumped," he confesses, but one solution is to incorporate it into a simple toastie by spooning fig and fennel chutney onto golden cheese for a delicious treat.

Beyond sandwiches, chutney makes an excellent glaze or marinade for meat. Claire Dinhut emphasizes that its balanced flavor means no additional ingredients are needed, making it ideal for air-fried chicken breasts slathered in mango chutney before roasting.

Soup enthusiasts will appreciate the suggestion to pair a spoonful of baguette with soured cream and a dollop of chutney for an engaging dunking experience. In addition, Dinhut recommends incorporating chutney into salad dressings by adding apple or tomato chutney instead of honey, which adds texture and depth.

Before utilizing leftover chutney, remember to maintain cleanliness: always wipe the jar's lid and edges with a dry cloth after use to prevent fungus growth. Dinhut also suggests making use of nearly empty jars by cracking in an egg, sealing, and giving it a good shake before using the contents to create scrambled eggs.

This versatile condiment deserves more attention, so don't dismiss those partially used jars just yet – experiment with chutney today!

Ugh, I know right? Chutney is like that one aunt at family gatherings - everyone loves it but nobody really knows what to do with the leftovers . But seriously, who knew you could put it on avocado toast? That's genius! And using it as a glaze for meat is so underrated. I need to try that mango chutney on my chicken breasts ASAP . And omg, using soured cream and chutney in soup sounds like the perfect comfort food combo . Let's give this underappreciated condiment some love!

 

[TurboCrazeX]

I've got a love-hate thing going on with chutneys... They're always around during holidays and I never really know what to do with them after that. But, the more I read about using them in breakfast dishes like avocado toast or even just as a glaze for air-fried chicken breasts... it's kinda genius! Who knew fig and fennel chutney on toastie could be so good? And, pairing sour cream with chutney in soup is actually pretty cool. It's like an extra layer of flavor that takes the whole thing to the next level. I'm definitely gonna try some new recipes this weekend and see what other ideas come out of my pantry!

I feel like we're due for a flavor revolution . I've had my fair share of leftover chutney and honestly, it's been a game-changer in some dishes. Claire Dinhut's idea to use it on avocado toast is pure genius . And can you imagine pairing fig and fennel chutney with golden cheese on a toastie? Sounds like a match made in heaven .

But what I love about this article is how it showcases the versatility of chutney. From glazing meat to adding texture to salads, it's amazing how one condiment can elevate so many recipes. And let's not forget about using up those nearly empty jars by turning them into scrambled eggs - genius, right?

The only thing that keeps me from getting too excited is the thought of all those partially used jars just sitting around waiting to be loved . But I guess that's what this article is trying to say - don't write off chutney just yet! Experiment with it and see where it takes you .

omg u guys i'm literally obsessed with this article about chutney can we talk about how underrated it is?? i mean i've had like 10 different types of chutney at parties and gatherings and never really knew what to do with them but now i'm excited to try out some new recipes like avocado toast and breakfast baps with fig and fennel chutney on toasties

and have u ever thought about using it as a glaze or marinade for meat? like i wanna try out that mango chutney on my air-fried chicken breasts now

i also love the idea of using it in salad dressings like apple chutney instead of honey, that sounds amazing and the tip about wiping down the jar's lid with a dry cloth after use is so clever

anyway i'm gonna go experiment with all my leftover chutneys now and share some of my own creations on social media

 

[JoltStorm]

Ugh I'm so over people thinking they can just give me a bunch of random stuff as a gift and expect me to like it. Like, who gives chutney as a holiday present? And now everyone's all excited about using it in breakfast recipes... avocado toast with chutney? How original. It's just gonna make your toast taste like someone poured lemonade on it.

And don't even get me started on the idea of using fig and fennel chutney on a toastie. Sounds like some fancy-pants nonsense to me. I mean, what if you're in the middle of nowhere with no Fig & Fennel Chutney in sight? You're stuck with a weirdly-flavored cheese sandwich because someone decided to be "adventurous".

I swear, chutneys are just an excuse for people to try new things without actually putting in any effort. Pair it with soured cream and baguette for a weird snack? Give me a break.

I'm still not convinced that chutney is a game-changer. I mean, have you seen the ingredient list for most store-bought chutneys? Like, who adds preservatives and sugar to something called a condiment? I need some solid proof or sources on why this stuff is so special before I start experimenting with it.

And don't even get me started on the "health benefits" of chutney. I've seen claims that it's full of antioxidants, but what about the added salt and sugar content? Can someone please provide some credible research or scientific studies to back up these claims?

I also want to know more about Claire Dinhut and Roger Pizey. Who are they, and how did they become "experts" on chutney just overnight? I need some background info or credentials before I start trusting their advice.

Lastly, have you tried using leftover chutney in soups or salads? From what I've seen, it's usually a bit too sweet and overpowering. Can someone please share some recipes or testimonials from people who have successfully incorporated chutney into their dishes?

Let's get to the bottom of this, folks!

finally someone's talking about this stuff... i mean, chutney is underrated for sure. never thought of putting it on avocado toast or using it in salad dressings tho think that'd be a game changer. and the idea of just adding egg to old jars to make scrambled eggs is genius gotta try that one out

 

[GlyphRush]

omg u guys have no idea how much i love chutney!! i mean its literally the perfect addition to avocado toast lol what if u try pairing it with scrambled eggs or as a glaze for chicken? and dont even get me started on soups and salad dressings i used fig and fennel chutney on toastie yesterday and omg my taste buds are still dancing just look up all the recipes online and experiment like craig from the article said lol clean the jar lids tho dont wanna be eating fungus

 

[MetaBloom]

Ugh, you guys need to get your facts straight! Chutney is NOT a lemon substitute . Claire Dinhut is spot on that it's amazing on avocado toast, but let's not get carried away. I mean, who pairs egg yolks with chutney? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen . And don't even get me started on the whole fig and fennel thing... I think Roger Pizey must have had one too many Fortnum & Mason teas .

And what's up with the air-fried chicken breasts? Mango chutney is great, but come on! Can't you just use a simple BBQ sauce instead? . And those soup enthusiasts need to wake up - adding soured cream and chutney is not a new idea, trust me .

On a serious note though, I do think chutney deserves more love (and attention to its uses). So go ahead, get creative with that leftover chutney... just don't say I didn't warn you .

I'm loving this article about chutney . I never knew how underrated it was until now. I've had my fair share of holiday gifts that ended up going to waste because we couldn't figure out what to do with them, so this is a total game-changer for me. Pairing chutney with avocado toast sounds amazing, and who wouldn't love the combination of spicy mango chutney and air-fried chicken breasts? I'm definitely going to start experimenting with it in my breakfast routine and even try making scrambled eggs from almost-empty jars! It's so cool how versatile it is.
