Mango Chutney


Let this be a lesson to all of you. Don't rely on me to take pictures of delicious food. I am not to be trusted.

Ingredients
6-8 medium sized very ripe yellow mangos
1 cup chopped dried apricots (or prunes to add more variation)
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup cilantro
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. Balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 Tbsp. Chile powder
1/2 tsp white sugar
sea salt and pepper to taste

Peel and chop the mangos. They don't have to be uniform, just get it done any way you can, they are slippery jerks. Roughly chop the dried apricots, or prunes, or whatever dried fruit; then add it to your bowl of mangos. Very finely chop the walnuts and cilantro. You want the walnuts to be small enough that they will just stick to the pieces of fruit in the dish, no one wants to try to stab a walnut with a fork. Add the walnuts, cilantro, and remaining ingredients. Gently stir the chutney to get everything coated, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. This goes great with jerk chicken, I think that his name is Steve.
