Green Tomato Chutney

When life hands you lemons you make lemonade, when your mother throws tomato seeds all over your garden beds mid summer and you have yourself a crop of green tomatoes, you attempt to make green tomato chutney.

I suppose you could try canning it as a preserve but I made a small 'make to try batch' the results were delicious. I can see myself topping a savory canapé or enhancing a curry with a dollop of spicy goodness.

2 green chillies
3 cloves of garlic chopped very fine
1 tsp Mustard seeds
