Tomato chutney

This chutney, which complements the spiced boerewors sausages, makes this South African equivalent to the 'snag’ sandwich so more-ish. Substitute boerewors with your choice of spiced barbecued sausage for an equally delicious result. Store chutney in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and try it with other barbecued meats, too.
