Don’t we all love strawberry/rhubarb pie? Of course we do – it’s delicious! But other than pie, do you use rhubarb in any of your dishes? I thought not! Today we’re going to fix that and I guarantee this rhubarb chutney will change your life!
I used fresh picked rhubarb from Barrie Hill Farms with garlic, onion, golden raisins, white wine, honey and ginger. I bet you started drooling just reading those ingredients!
You can serve this on crusty bread with a sharp cheese. I used Temiskaming cheese. If you don’t have access to this cheese, a sharp white cheddar or goat cheese will be perfect. This would also go well on chicken or pork and can be served hot or cold. It is an easy dish to prepare and takes no time at all. There’s a fair bit of honey in this recipe but it’s needed to balance out all the flavours.
