Beetroot Chutney 300g
£5.65
Description
Beetroot chutney is a lovely choice when you enjoy earthy flavours with a little fruit sweetness. Beetroot is paired with apple, onion, vinegar, spices and mustard to make a preserve that complements cheese without needing a complicated serving arrangement.
The 300g jar is particularly useful for lunches and relaxed entertaining. Put it alongside goat's cheese and oatcakes, or use a spoonful to add interest to a simple sandwich or salad plate.
How to enjoy
Serve with goat’s cheese and oatcakes, add to a ploughman’s lunch or spread into a mature cheddar sandwich. Pair with our red onion chutney if you are putting together a selection for a cheeseboard.
Build a beetroot and goat’s cheese lunch
Spread soft goat’s cheese over an oatcake and top with a small spoonful of chutney. The earthy beetroot and sweet apple give a contrast to the cheese, while the oatcake adds crunch. Make a few at a time just before serving, or lay out the ingredients separately so people can assemble their own.
For a larger plate, add salad leaves, sliced cucumber and a piece of crusty bread. The chutney can sit beside the salad rather than being mixed through it. You can also use a thin layer in a mature cheddar sandwich, adding the leaves last to give a fresh contrast to the filling.
Putting together a chutney selection
Beetroot makes this jar a useful contrast to red onion chutney or a spiced tomato preserve. Offer two or three small dishes on a cheeseboard, each with its own spoon, rather than combining them. That way you can compare the different vegetable, fruit and spice combinations with the same cheese. This recipe includes mustard; the ingredient details are listed below.
Ingredients
Beetroot, Apples, Onions, Vinegar (NO LONGER from Barley, so no added gluten), Sugar, Spices, MUSTARD
Frequently asked questions
What balances the earthy flavour in this beetroot chutney?
Apple supplies sweetness alongside the beetroot, with onion, vinegar, spices and mustard completing the recipe. This combination makes the 300g chutney a useful accompaniment to cheese and sandwiches.
Why pair beetroot chutney with goat’s cheese and oatcakes?
The beetroot and apple provide an earthy-sweet contrast to goat’s cheese, while the oatcake adds crunch. Spread the cheese first and add a small spoonful of chutney, or set out the ingredients for people to assemble themselves.
Can I serve beetroot chutney beside a salad instead of mixing it in?
Yes. Put a spoonful beside leaves, cucumber and bread, with cheese if wanted. Keeping the chutney separate gives each bite a choice between the fresh salad and the richer beetroot-and-apple accompaniment.
Does this beetroot chutney include mustard?
Yes, mustard is explicitly present in the listed ingredients. Check the complete information on the current jar when selecting for allergies or other dietary needs, and ask Olives+ if you need clarification before purchase.
Which second chutney offers a contrast to the beetroot jar?
Red onion chutney offers an onion, red wine and balsamic combination, while a spiced tomato chutney takes the selection in another direction. Use separate dishes so each chutney can be compared with the same cheese.
