APPLE CHUTNEY (FROM THE NEW REVISED MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK)
I love Chutney but it is expensive to buy. Apples are plentiful and cheap in Nova Scotia (and many other locations) so I like to make this one to accompany samosas and anything else that needs a delicious kick. It's also very easy.

Steps:
- Coarsely chop the apples, with or without peel.
- Place them in a medium sized saucepan with all remaining ingredients.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer.
- Simmer uncovered about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until everything is very soft.
- Enjoy the delicious smell wafting through your house.
- Cool and transfer to a sterile jar.
- Refrigerate.
- Sometimes the apples I use are harder and still chunky at the end of cooking, so I mash them with the potato masher.
BAKED SAMOSAS (FROM THE NEW REVISED EDITION MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK)
These are healthier than the originals as they are baked not fried. Personally, I like them better than fried ones. I serve them with chutney, either homemade apple or store-bought.

Steps:
- Dough.
- Mix the flour and salt together in a medium sized bowl.
- Make a well in the centre and add the buttermilk or yogurt. Mix first with a spoon and then with your hand to make a smooth dough.
- Add extra flour as needed to keep the dough from being sticky. The dough will be quite soft. Knead in the bowl for about five minutes.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the samosas.
- Filling.
- Peel potatoes and chop them into 1-inch pieces. Place in a saucepan, cover with water and boil until very soft. Drain and transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Mash and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Add onion, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, coriander and salt. Saute over medium heat about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the onions are quite soft.
- Add the onion mixture to the potatoes, along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well but try not to smush the peas.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Assembly and baking.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F Generously oil a baking sheet, or cover with parchment paper.
- Have ready a small container of flour, a fork, a small bowl of water and a pastry brush.
- Flour a clean surface and, one by one, roll one inch balls of dough into a five inch circle.
- Place approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling in the centre of each circle.
- Brush the inside edges of the circle with a little water and fold the edges together to make a small hem. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork.
- Place each samosa as it is made on the greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375F, turning the samosas over when you do. Bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve within 15 minutes of baking with chutney or your favourite dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help the chutney to have a smooth texture.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger will give the chutney a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
- Don't overcook the chutney: The chutney should be cooked until the apples are soft and the onions are translucent, but it should not be mushy.
- Let the chutney cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Apple chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a sweet and tangy flavor to grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches and crackers, or as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal. With its complex flavor and ease of preparation, apple chutney is a great addition to any kitchen.
