Sweet & Spicy Fresh Apple Chutney
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
- 1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seed
- 1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon whole yellow mustard seed
- 2 teaspoons serrano chile, seeds & ribs removed, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mild honey, such as acacia
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard seed oil
- 1 1/4 cups sweet apples, peeled, cored and finely diced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the cumin, coriander and fennel seeds and toast for 1 minute, shaking the pan to prevent burning. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the toasted spices to a mortar and pestle. Grind the spices until they are a coarse powder (you can also pulse the spices a couple times in a spice grinder to get the same result).
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground toasted spices, whole yellow mustard seeds, chopped serrano chile, lemon juice, honey and salt, and whisk until the honey and salt are fully dissolved. Whisk in the mustard seed oil in a slow steady stream until combined. Add the diced apples and chopped cilantro and stir to combine.
- Let the mixture sit for 20 - 30 minutes, at room temperature (the acidity of the lemon juice will prevent the apples from browning). Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
