This dish is versatile and can be served with both meat and a vegan meal. We eat this chutney with a T-bone steak, spicy steak https://explorer4experience.com/spicy-steak-sous-vide/ or another piece of meat, but if we eat vegetarian it also comes on the table. The chutney can be stored very well in a canning jar in the fridge.

This chutney is also delicious as a salad or at a barbecue.
