• Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Do not blend for too long, otherwise it will become very dark. Season with salt to taste.

GREEN TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes (you can skin them if you want, but it's not necessary). Finely chop the onions. Layer both in a large bowl with the salt. Leave overnight.
• The next day, chop the sultanas using a large, sharp knife, then peel, core and chop the apples. Put the sugar and vinegar into a large pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sultanas and apples and simmer for 10 mins. Strain the tomatoes and onions in a colander (but don't rinse), then tip into the pan and return to the boil.
• Simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and pulpy. Transfer to warmed jars (see tips, below) and cover with lids.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Set over high heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon sticks. At this point, chutney can be cooled and served, or canned: Ladle chutney into clean canning jars, and wipe excess from rims; screw on lids.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, pour in additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed; if it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
• Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Opened jars will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

THANKSGIVING SAMOSAS WITH GREEN CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the Pastry: Combine the flour and kosher salt in a large bowl. Rub the grapeseed oil into the flour until incorporated. Add the ajwain and nigella seeds. Gradually add the water, mixing after each pour, until a smooth dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes. Drizzle the bowl with oil; turn the dough to coat. Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside on the counter.
• Make the Filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the red onion, serrano, ginger and turmeric in the grapeseed oil until softened and slightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and peas; cook just until the peas are thawed, a couple of minutes. Season with kosher salt.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the potato and turkey; sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro. Stir, then taste for seasoning.
• Make the Samosas: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a dutch oven over medium heat until the oil reaches 375˚ F on a deep-fry thermometer. Meanwhile, divide the dough into 9 balls. Roll out each into a 5- to 6-inch round on a floured surface. Slice each round into 2 semicircles. Wet the straight edge of a semicircle with a little water, then position the semicircle with the straight edge facing away from you.
• Place 2 teaspoons filling in the middle of the semicircle. Fold one corner over the filling, forming a triangle; fold in the other corner to make a cone. Seal the ends with water, pinching and folding the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining semicircles and filling.
• Working in batches, fry the samosas until golden brown, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a rack set on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Make the Chutney: In a blender, puree cilantro, mint leaves, scallions, garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, lime and lemon juice, and chile. Add crème fraîche and blend until incorporated.
• Serve the samosas hot or at room temperature with the chutney.
