Feta Schnitzel with Campari Tomato Chutney

A great idea for a hostess gift, our campari tomato chutney also pairs very well with cheese for an appetizer.

Chutney

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3 shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 ½-inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
• 1 Gusto™ Hot Pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 tsp. mustard seeds
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 lbs. Campari tomatoes, chopped
• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup raisins
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp. molasses

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in medium pot over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, ginger, Gusto™ pepper, mustard seeds and sauté for 3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and add Campari tomatoes, apple, raisins, sugar, apple cider vinegar and molasses. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until chutney is very thick. Stir chutney occasionally to keep from sticking.
2. Spoon into sterilized jars and cool.

Chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
