This is a Greg Malouf recipe from his book Arabesque (published by Quadrille publishing) and is just gorgeous, although I think it could do with a touch more ginger.
Ingredients:
6 lemons, zest of, finely chop the flesh
100 ml lemon juice, extra
2 tablespoons salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
100 ml cider vinegar
1 tablespoon gingerroot, grated
1 teaspoon cardamom seed, ground
1 teaspoon coriander seed, ground
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
225 g brown sugar
200 g dates, chopped small
Directions:
1. Mix together lemon, zest, extra lemon juice and salt. Let sit overnight.
2. Combine all ingredients, except sugar and dates, in a heavy pan.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Then lower temperature and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add sugar and dates, stir well and simmer for 45-60 minutes, until thick and reduced.
6. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.
7. Pour into sterilised jars.
8. Let the chutney mature for 6 weeks.
