Speedy Tomato & Chai Seed Chutney

Vegan Chutney

A quick & easy tomato and chai chutney – to brighten up a tired Tuesday evening!

I had some leftover tomatoes from the Lentil salad I made the other day and I didn’t really want them to go to waste, so I decided to try and put together a sort of chunky tomato chutney to eat with cheese and crackers.  Tonight I fancied a snackette for dinner rather than a full-blown meal so this speedy chutney, not one that you have to wait on for weeks is perfect. You can opt for vegan cheeses, but I have a medium sized slab of this punchy organic blue that I have big plans for this week! For tonight, I’ll steal a few slices to keep my chutney company. Wash it down with a crisp white, a blushing rose or a rich red – I’ll be eating mine whilst catching up on the ITV drama, Marchella, my most favourite drama and top of my TV watch list.
