I am in the mood to eat a sandwich! Are you? A sandwich with tomatoes, onions and a tangy smooth and robust chutney. No butter, no pickles, no other frills….just a simple sandwich :). A simple desire to feed the soul!

This is such a simple chutney or pesto if you want to call it, that you would be surprised by its taste when you blitz your blender!

I made a batch. Filled one jar for current use and put the other in freezer.

    1. I am sure you will like it. Grilled some eggplant as onions tomatoes garlic and jalapeรฑos yesterday in the oven. Am wondering either to make Indian style bharta or mash or some middle eastern dish. Any suggestions?

      1. Ooh…that’s a lovely mix of ingredients! You know me, I’d turn it into a salsa or a dip, or turn them into a wonderful salad and top with one of your fab dressings ๐Ÿ™‚

        1. Last night, I took a portion from each grilled vegetable, mashed roughly with fork, added salt and some mustard oil and voila…..tasted so good with just no seasoning and the nasal tang that mustard creates…yumm..

          1. Nah nothing,..acyptually the like button is not working either. Have you been receiving notifications of likes and comments from others lately? Since I can do it for other posts but yours…. I hope I am not frustrating you…. ๐Ÿ™

          2. You aren’t frustrating me at all! I need to know when things aren’t working! :). I just saw a comment from you – hopefully working now?
