Mild Sweet Chilli Chutney

Salmon cake topped with tomato and bell pepper relish on a white plate, with a pot of the relish and cutting board in the background.

I initially created this chutney in the summer, when I had an excess of various types of tomatoes ripening in the garden and realised there was no way we could eat them all – even friends and family couldn’t oblige! It makes an excellent accompaniment to John’s Salmon Fish Cakes Diablo
