Cilantro Apple chutney is a condiment for your meal. The cilantro is a cooling herb that aids digestion and calms excess heat, like inflammation or heartburn. The apple and natural turbinado sugar are sweet and soothing. The pinch of salt acts in a balancing way to stimulate the digestive process, but more would be too heating. The lemon is sour and is used in a sparing way to help eliminate gas in the digestive process.
The taste of the chutney is a little different, but it grows on you. It is also a great way to use the fall season's apple harvest.
Recipe:
- 2 apples
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp turbinado sugar
- juice of 1-2 lemons
Peel and core the apples. Chop in food processor with the fresh cilantro. Add the lemon juice, salt and sugar and gently process. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Variation: Replace apples with 2 pears and omit the sugar.
Stay healthy & well,
