Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 large clove of garlic
olive oil
1 small dried red chilli
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 x 400 g tins of quality Italian plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 handful of fresh basil, or marjoram
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Peel and finely chop the garlic, then gently fry in a thick-bottomed pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Crumble in the chilli, add the oregano and tomatoes.
Mix gently, but do not break up the tomatoes as this will release the pips, which will make the sauce slightly bitter - by leaving the tomatoes whole and letting the mixture cook slowly you'll get a nice sweet sauce. (You can remove the pips from the tomatoes if you want, but I don't bother.) Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour.
Add the vinegar to the pan, then stir and chop up the tomatoes in the sauce.
Pick the basil or marjoram and roughly chop, then add to the pan.
Season well to taste with sea salt and black pepper, and finish with 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 to 4 small red chilies, crumbled
Large pinch coriander seeds, pounded
2 cloves, pounded
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, pounded
Small pinch cumin, pounded
Olive oil
4 anchovy fillets
3 ounces ripe red cherry tomatoes, washed, whole
1 pound 4 ounces brown sugar
8 good lugs vinegar (preferably red wine)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Slowly fry the onions, garlic and spices in a little olive oil soft and translucent. Add the anchovies and cherry tomatoes (which you can blanch and remove the skins first if you like.) Shake around and add the sugar, vinegar and salt and pepper at this point. Bring to the boil, stir and simmer gently for 30 minutes before seasoning well to taste and transfer to a few small, sterilized airtight jars, rather than a large one, and seal. If unopened, the chutney will improve in flavor and last up to a year in your cupboard. Once opened, keep in your refrigerator for 1 to 2 months.;
