Tomato And Onion Salad, Chutney Or Salsa?
Is it a tomato and onion salad? In India, they would call this an onion and tomato chutney, you might call it an onion and tomato salsa but let's not split hairs, let's just get on with the cooking.
Raw onion isn't may favorite but what makes this chutney work for me is the lemon juice that actually “cooks” the onion and takes away that really powerful (and what would be overpowering) flavor.
Camping again, hence the plastic pot - sorry!
Given what we discussed at the top, this recipe makes the perfect accompaniment to both Indian and Mexican cuisine.
Ingredients:-
1 large onion chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
Juice of one lemon
Salt
A sprinkle of dried chili flakes
Method:-
Mix up the onion and tomato in a bowl, sprinkle in the salt and chili flakes, squeeze over the lemon juice and mix until everything is coated. Now refrigerate for a few hours and then it is ready to serve.
