It's rhubarb season again. After enjoying a few preserves and compotes, there's the annual dilemma of what to do with all the rest. Try this sweet-and-sour chutney, which goes particularly well with grilled chicken or pork.

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups  (625 mL)  chopped fresh rhubarb (or 1 bag/300 g frozen sliced rhubarb, thawed and drained)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  dried currants
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp  (15 mL)  minced gingerroot
  • 1 tbsp  (15 mL)  malt or cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp  (10 mL)  coriander seeds, lightly crushed
  • 1 tsp  (5 mL)  mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  hot pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  ground turmeric
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Preparation

In large saucepan, bring rhubarb, onion, garlic, currants, sugar, ginger, vinegar, coriander, mustard seeds, hot pepper flakes, turmeric, cinnamon stick and 1/3 cup (75 mL) water to boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until rhubarb has disintegrated and onion is soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
