How to make Ratatouille Chutney

  1. Step 1

    Chop the vegetables, including the bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant, into very small pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Finely chop the onion and the apples, leaving the skin on the apples.

  3. Step 3

    Wash and peel the tomatoes, cut them in half, remove the seeds, and dice them into medium-sized cubes.

  4. Step 4

    Place all the ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add the vinegar, salt, mustard, and sweet paprika.

  5. Step 5

    Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  6. Step 6

    Add the brown sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until it dissolves. Let it cook for another 10 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Remove the pot from the heat and let the chutney cool if you plan to store it in jars. Alternatively, serve it as a side dish to complement the main meat dish.
