I know many of you are über home chefs who think nothing of whipping up a killer cranberry dressing from scratch for your Thanksgiving dinner.
But not me. I have suddenly hit upon the obvious, no-brainer and yet under-appreciated alternative to full-on cranberry dressing. In a word — chutney.
Duh. Chutney, the sophisticated version of cranberry dressing that can be spun and re-visited endlessly depending upon your choice of dried fruit infrastructure, spices and flavor intensity.
We’re completely in love with the Tomato Mint Chutney ($6ish) from Neera’s. (available at enlightened food stores, including New Leaf, Whole Foods and Shoppers Corner). It’s got attitude and miles of flavor alchemy.
We added it along with mayo (stop wincing!) on a sliced turkey sandwich the other day, and realized that it would be THE perfect side for Thanksgiving turkey.
Get some.
