Walnut Chutney

The key to this recipe is using high quality, fresh, well packaged walnuts and full fat Greek yogurt. You may consider preparing two batches at once as there is rarely any leftover!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb high quality walnuts

2-3 green chilis (adjust to desired heat level)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup full fat plain Greek yogurt plus 2 tbsp water so moves well in food processor

Directions:

In a food processor chop the walnuts and chilis until fine/pasty. It may require a couple of tablespoons of water to get going. Add the salt and yogurt and blend until a thick consistent paste is formed. Adjust salt and chilis to taste.
