Hurricanes aside, living in South Florida does have its benefits. Mangoes are at the top of that “PROS” list. And because there are so many types of mangoes, there’s always some variety “in season”“in season”. The proliferation of this tropical fruit puts mangoes into regular cooking rotation of many South Florida chefs and home cooks. Consequently, delectable mango recipes abound in these parts. Like this curried mango chutney. I can’t take credit for this one, it’s Alton Brown’s recipe but it’s been in my steady rotation for years.

The combination makes a deliciously layered compote that gradually spreads across the tongue and enhances everything you serve it with.

Making Easy Chutney Recipe

• To begin layering the curried mango chutney, heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet and add the crushed red pepper flakes to warm through.
• Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent. Don’t brown the onions, you want them soft.

• Add the grated ginger and chopped bell pepper and cook for another minute or two, stirring occasionally until the peppers are softened.
• Add the chopped mangoes and continue to cook for an additional minute.

Simmering The Easy Chutney Recipe

• In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice and curry powder.
• Add the curry mixture to the mango and cook down until the fruit is softened and the mixture is thick, about 30 minutes.

The Final Touches

Once the fruit has thickened and reduced, stir in the golden raisins and roughly chopped macadamia nuts.

• Let the mango ginger chutney cool, then transfer it to a storage jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
