Mrs Elswood Cucumber Relish
  • Author: mrselswood

This homemade chutney is a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors that perfectly complement each other. The combination of caramelized red onions, fragrant garlic, and a hint of smokiness from paprika create a rich and aromatic base. As it simmers, the addition of balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce enhances the depth of flavors, while the diced tomatoes add a fresh and juicy component. The surprise addition of Mrs Elswood Cucumber Spears with dill brings a refreshing crunch and a touch of dill freshness. This chutney is a versatile condiment that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, adding a burst of flavor to every bite.
