Rhubarb Pickle
After making my rhubarb sauce recipe for the first time and loving it, I knew I had to find a way to use this tasty, tart vegetable for savory dishes, too. What better way than with a pickled rhubarb chutney?
As a condiment for so many dishes, there is nothing I love more than a good chutney recipe. Chutney is one of my favorite pairings for curry and rice, and I've always wanted to try making my own.
Let me tell you, rhubarb chutney is a keeper! It has a delicious warm flavor to it, thanks to a blend of cinnamon, allspice, and raisins. The sugar cuts the naturally tart and tangy flavor of the rhubarb, while the onion, ginger, and vinegar add the extra savory boost it needs to really shine as a chutney.
I guarantee you'll love this rhubarb relish as much as I do! Give it a try and use it for everything from pork chops and chicken to curry, turkey burgers, and bruschetta.
