About the Recipe
If you love a little heat with your cheese, this Mango Habanero Chutney is your new best friend! The natural sweetness of mangoes meets the fiery kick of habanero, creating a flavor explosion that pairs beautifully with Brown’s Cheddar Cheese. Whether you’re impressing guests or just treating yourself, this chutney is the perfect way to spice things up. Serve it with crackers, fresh fruit, or as a topping for grilled meats—because why not add a little heat to everything?
Ingredients
1 tbsp oil (extra virgin olive oil works great)
½ onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
2 habanero peppers, finely chopped (handle with care!)
½ tsp coriander
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp maple syrup
Preparation
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft.
Stir in the garlic, mangoes, habanero, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, vinegar, and maple syrup. Let everything simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender, blend until smooth (or leave it slightly chunky for texture).
Serve with crackers, fresh fruit, and a generous slice of Brown’s Cheddar Cheese for the ultimate flavor explosion!
Health Benefit
Pairing this chutney with Brown’s Cheddar Cheese not only enhances the flavor but also boosts your intake of protein and calcium. The habaneros bring metabolism-boosting capsaicin, while mangoes provide a dose of vitamin C—making this chutney both delicious and nutritious!
Tip
For extra smokiness, roast the habanero peppers before adding them in.
Want a milder version? Use just one habanero or swap in a milder chili like jalapeño.
This chutney stores well in the fridge for up to a week—perfect for cheese nights on demand!
