Afghan Red Pepper Chutney: Surkh e Murch

Author: Shayma Saadat

Ingredients

  • 4 large red capsicum / bell peppers
  • 4 garlic cloves (if you are using large cloves, use 2)
  • 4 tbsp white vinegar or you can use apple cider vinegar, too
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 small fresh, hot red chillies
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • De-seed and chop capsicum into small cubes (these are going into the blender so the size does not matter).
  • Chop garlic into small pieces (this is also going into the blender so the size does not matter).
  • Transfer capsicum, garlic, vinegar and sugar into the blender.
  • Add one chilli by chopping it with kitchen shears directly into the blender. Test for level of heat. If you are ok with it, add second chilli.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Pulse in the blender till everything is minced, you want it to look slightly chunky, you dont want it to be completely smooth.
  • Serve with kebabs, rice, smear on bread for a sarnie, or enjoy atop your favourite cheese and crackers.
