Smoky turkey chili
Turkey chili is one of those dishes that packs a punch when it comes to flavour AND nutrition. One small bowl and you’ve got a complete meal – making it perfect for a weeknight dinner. Most recipes call for a slow cooker and rightly so, since anything that slowly cooks over a few hours is going to taste pretty amazing. The flavours really get a chance to “marry” together. But, what to do when you’re in the mood for some chili but don’t have a few hours? Why not try this quick and easy turkey chili that takes less than 30 minutes? Best of all, this recipe makes for delicious leftovers! (That’s if you have any left over…)
Chipotle tomato chutney (with a hint of cocoa…)
I’ve always been intrigued by chutneys since they can have dozens of ingredients that blend together perfectly. For me the best part of making chutney is that there is no right or wrong way – just go with the flow and you never know what you’ll come up with! I’ve been meaning to make chutney for a while since I made my mango chutney, but never got around to it until today. Since there have been so many beautiful tomatoes available in the market recently, I was inspired to create a tomato chutney (but with a twist of course!). This time my inspiration came from the Mexican flavours of chipotle chilli and cocoa.
