More often than I would like to admit, I open the fridge and think: How can this be? How can there be nothing to make for dinner? Again.
A few nights ago this happened, but as I was closing the door, a spot of color — a few tablespoons of curried apple chutney in a jam jar — caught my eye and saved the day.
I had made the chutney, a mix of stewed apples, onion, ginger, vinegar, sugar, and curry a few weeks ago to pair with smoked gouda in a grilled cheese for a post over on the Wisconsin Cheese Talk blog. A spoonful of this sweet, tart, spicy condiment goes a long way, and the little that remained in the jar proved plenty for two good-sized grilled cheese made on peasant bread using my favorite Suzanne Goin technique.
You can find the recipe for the chutney and grilled cheese over on Wisconsin Cheese Talk.
Hope all is well, Everyone!

Oh man. I want this so badly. I love tucking a slice of apple or pear inside a grilled cheese. But apple chutney is just over the top awesome. Love it!
alexandra says
Oh, Liz, me, too! Apple + gruyere might be my favorite combo.

Just made this for lunch!! No cilantro in the store yesterday, AND I only had confectioner’s sugar (due to my sugar addiction) but I forged on anyway! Used swiss cheese as there was no gouda to be found in the time I had. Despite this…delicious, sweet, sour, tart, crunchy, and easy!!
alexandra says
Yay! So happy to hear this Jo Anne! Glad to know that confectioners’ sugar works, and I bet swiss cheese was delicious. Yum!

Made this today with your gluten-free version of your Mom’s pheasant bread – delish. I also tried it with our local goat cheese which was wonderful, too. As always, beyond grateful.
