Tonight's post is short and sweet...kinda like the Brie-Dip I concocted at Brynn's late last night. As you know, Trader Joe's is where I shop for groceries. Sometimes I like to visit merely to walk down the aisle, checking out sauces, syrups, jellies and other spreads. What I came across last week was Mango Chutney. Now I know I like the stuff because I've had it on a dish at a restaurant, but prior to eating there, I hadn't even heard of it (I was still in my early twenties at the time), and since then I've only eaten it one other time. That being said, while I was contemplating on which pesto sauce I should get, and thinking if I really needed another strawberry jam, I "stumbled" on the Chutney, remebering I had seen some on previous visits. Now I couldn't honestly tell you what it consists of, but by the end of the evening, I will know what it is exactly and how to make it. This time, I happened to buy it, along with some Brie and peppered-Poppy Seed Crackers. I was going to experiment and try something new!By the time the trick-or-treaters had died down, I decided it was time to give it a try. I heated the oven at 375, placed the Brie on a cookie sheet and let the oven do some melting. Still in one piece, I took it out, placing it on a plate, took out the Chutney, drizzling it over the Brie (the way you do with salsa over cream cheese) and served our party-of-four a nice little appetizer. The experiment proved to be a delight...and so yes, I will be doing it again within week or two...to not try it would be a sin. Okay, maybe not so short, but sweet for sure!
Until next time, don't forget to fall back tonight...
Bon Appetit!
