Green Garlic and Nuts Chutney


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 159

Ingredients

3/4 cup shelled and coarsely chopped mixed raw nuts such as walnuts, almonds, cashews and pine nuts
3 to 5 fresh green chili peppers, such as serrano, stemmed
5 to 7 green garlic shoots (with bulbs), bottom 3 to 4 inches only, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice or lemon juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/8 teaspoon ground asafoetida
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika

Directions:

1. In a food processor or a blender, process together the nuts, green chili peppers and garlic until minced. Add the cilantro and mint to the work bowl and process, stopping a few times to scrape the sides with a spatula, until pureed. As you process, drizzle the lime juice through the feeder tube into the work bowl and process until the chutney is smooth. Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper and process again. Adjust the seasonings. Remove to a bowl.

2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin and mustard seeds they should splatter upon contact with the hot oil, so lower the heat and cover the pan and reduce the heat until the splattering subsides. Stir in the asafoetida and paprika just to blend, then transfer the spice mixture to the chutney and swirl lightly to mix, with parts of it visible as a garnish. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately, refrigerate about 10 days, or freeze up to 6 months.
