Waste Not Wednesday | Using up...onion chutney

Our Waste Not Wednesday posts are derived from our own experience. From having one of those days when you create a masterpiece of a meal from the odds and ends of the cupboards knowing that it\’s a one hit wonder, never to be tasted again.

This week I thought I\’d share how you can avoid ending up with a nearly empty jar of onion chutney in the fridge door that got forgotten and no one wants to use.

Here\’s some suggestions for you.

Ingredients

Random jar of caramelised onion chutney

Method

When making mashed potatoes, dollop in a generous spoonful.
Stir into gravy for a roast dinner.
Spread on toast before topping with cheese for toasted sandwiches or cheese on toast.
When making a sauce to accompany a steak, heat in a pan and the stir in creme fraiche or sour cream.
Spread on the pastry base of a quiche or flan before topping.
Plop into a sausage casserole.
Serve on top of a baked potato with grated cheese and chives.
Combine with some some lime pickle to reduce the heat.
Stir through hot pasta with flaked peppered mackerel and halved cherry tomatoes.
