Easy Recipes for your Garden Cucumbers
This sweet chutney recipe is the perfect way to use those extra garden cucumbers. Throughout the summer our garden is overloaded with cucumber plants all ripening at once. I make this garden fresh sweet cucumber chutney recipe with my extra cucs and a healthy dish is ready in no time. Enjoy that summer garden cucumber bounty with this bright and fresh chutney recipe all summer long. There’s no better cuc thana seasonal one right out of the garden – if not your garden, then get fresh cucumbers at your local farmer’s market stand 🙂
What’s In This Cucumber Chutney Recipe?
- Cucumber
- Bell Pepper: If you don’t have fresh peppers, these sweet roasted red peppers are a great substitute! I love adding them to breakfast bakes, sandwiches or wraps, and soups.
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this dressing a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor. I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! The pepper flakes balance out the sweetness nicely in this chutney.
- Cilantro
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
Easily Grow Fresh Herbs on Your Counter All Year Long
We got this great 6-Pod Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs – like cilantro for this chutney. We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round! I love growing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm. It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time. I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads. This Aerogarden is a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!
