I posted a recipe on my blog for Apricot/Mango Chutney...I have a contact who's allergic to?!


Question: onions [and garlic]. She'd like to try the recipe but needs a substitute for the red onion.

Any ideas? [original recipe below]

4 medium apricots, diced
3 medium mangos, peeled and diced
8 ounces sugar
1 pint white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon dried ginger
1 Tablespoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
8 ounces raisins
1/2 red onion, finely diced

Combine all ingredients in saucepan and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Place in clean jars. Refrigerate up to 3 hours

makes approx. 1 qt.

If she's allergic to both onion and garlic, I doubt that shallot will be good, either.

Just leave it out. It won't be quite the same, but sounds awesome! :o)

Can she eat shallots, that's a great substitute for both onions & garlic!
