This is a great spicy and tangy, non-fat accompaniment to many dishes. It is also a great gift to foodies both vegetarian and meateaters. Unlike our easy tomato chutney recipe - which is a classic - this is made with chilli for an extra kick of spice.

Method

Put half the tomatoes into a processor with the chillies, garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Whizz to a purée, then transfer to a heavy-based pan with the rest of the tomatoes.
Add the star anise, sugar and vinegar. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 50 mins, until the chutney is thickened. Skim off any scum.
Pour the chutney into the jars. Cover, seal and label. Store in the fridge and use within 1 month. Love a good chutney? Try this green tomato chutney that's perfect with cold meats and cheese boards.
