Rhubarb and Ginger Chutney - Vegan and Gluten Free
A native of north and central Asia, rhubarb has been celebrated for its medicinal qualities for millennia. The seventeenth century English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, claimed that it heals jaundice and helps gout, sciatica and toothache. Little wonder then that rhubarb powder was once worth more than opium – who knew?
Tracklements NEW Special Edition Rhubarb & Ginger Chutney is made with rhubarb gathered rather closer to home, from a family farm in Norfolk. Delicately pink, the tart, intensely fruity rhubarb is gently balanced with warm ginger, sweet sultanas and carefully selected aromatic spices including nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice.
The chutney pairs perfectly with smoked mackerel pate on chunky slices of sourdough toast, adds tangy sweetness to crumbly cheeses, a variety of vegetable recipes, sliced meats and sandwiches and brings joie de vivre to crispy-skinned, roasted duck breasts. It's also remarkable with poppadoms, onion bhajis and with any curry you fancy.
It also wouldn't go amiss on a buttered crumpet. Don't judge til you try it!
Peter Morrell, Editor, comments "I've tasted the New Tracklements Special Edition Rhubarb and Ginger Chutney, and it's for people with sophisticated taste buds. The combination of sweet and tart, with a touch of ginger gives it an intriguing taste. It is the perfect match for many dishes. I tried it as a condiment with a Chinese noodle and seafood stir fry, and it really worked well. As a breakfast twist I mixed it with natural Greek yoghurt, which made a work of difference. The only thing holding you back from trying it with a wide range of other foods is your imagination."
Back in 1970, William Tullberg made the first British wholegrain mustard. 50 years on William's son, Guy, carries on his legacy. However, that one mustard has matured into eight varieties and over 40 award-winning chutneys, relishes and sauces.
A store cupboard hero for both celebrity chefs and home cooks, the range is still handmade in the green heart of Wiltshire, abiding to traditional recipes, with an underpinning principle to buy the best quality ingredients sourced locally wherever possible to ensure the products taste as good as, if not better than, homemade.
