Condiments
Is your fridge 80% condiments, or is that just me?
Condiments like blueberry bourbon BBQ sauce, salsa, or salad dressings can make a meal sing.
Crunchy, vinegary pickles are a must have condiment to accompany certain foods like fattier meats or sandwiches.
Gremolata is one of my favorite condiments – it is a mixture of parsley, garlic and lemon. It is incredibly easy and can really transform a dish.
And then, there are chutneys. It is one of the most versatile condiments out there. For me, there is a chutney for every season. I adore them. Sweet, tart, savory – they have it all.
In the Spring, it’s loquat chutney. The warmth of summer brings stone fruit, and cherry chutney. When the temps start to cool in the fall, it’s time for apple chutney. And finally, winter means cranberry chutney.
Many of these also make great homemade food gifts to share with friends and family. Consider making a batch of your favorite and gifting them to your favorite people this holiday season.
