INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 shallots, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • Two 3-inch pieces ginger, peeled and sliced

  • 4 beets, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 4 cardamom pods

  • 2 thyme sprigs

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 cups chicken stock

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the oil in a large deep saute pan over high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and beets, reduce the heat to low, and saute for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the honey, cardamom, thyme, sugar, and spiced butter and stir over low heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer until beets are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

3. Remove the cardamom, thyme, and ginger from the chutney and stir in the salt. Let cool.
