Cucumber Mint Chutney
"From the *Best Seafood Recipes* cookbook of the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook series comes this recipe that was actually a part of a complete main-dish, but I was intrigued w/this unique idea. It was used w/fish cakes & I think it would be such a refreshing alternative to tartar sauce & other sauses used for them. I also feel it would work very well w/roasted or grilled lamb. I hope you will ck it out for me so I will know if my pers taste & instincts are well-founded. *Enjoy*"

The mint with the cucumber is a combination that works well together. The crunchy red pepper blended in nicely, also. Surprisingly, I found the onion to be a jarring note and I am a true onion lover. Despite the sugar, the acidity level from the vinegar and lime juice is very pronounced and eating a bite of this straight is a puckering experience. ;-) I served it with pan blackened fish and it tasted wonderful! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
