Description
Liven a regular grilled cheese sandwich with a sweet and spicy tomato chutney.
Ingredients
Scale
- for the sandwiches-
- bread
- cheese (I used American)
- butter
- for the chutney-
- 28 oz. can whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup raisins, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- To make the chutney, combine all ingredients in a heavy kettle. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, for an additional 30 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to about 2 1/2 cups.
- To make the sandwiches, butter two slices of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place cheese (and chutney, if desired) on the unbuttered side of one piece of bread. Cover with second piece, butter side out, and cook on skillet, 2-3 minutes per side, or until bread is browned and cheese is melted.
