Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it’s shimmering.
2. Cook the Sausage:
- Add the sliced Vienna sausages to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate and set them aside.
3. Sauté the Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent, around 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.
4. Add Tomatoes and Water:
- Stir in the canned tomatoes and the water. Combine thoroughly with the onions and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Season:
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
6. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until it thickens to a chutney consistency. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
7. Combine with Sausage:
- Once the chutney has thickened, add the browned sausage slices back to the skillet. Stir to combine the sausage with the chutney. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve:
- Serve your sausage and tomato chutney hot. It’s versatile and can be enjoyed over rice, with crusty bread, or even as a topping for baked potatoes.

With its rich, savory flavors and effortless preparation, this Sausage and Tomato Chutney is a must-try recipe.

Sausage and tomato chutney FAQ:

What pan size should I use for this recipe?

A large skillet or saucepan is recommended to allow enough space for cooking the sausage and onions evenly. A 10-12 inch skillet works well.

How long should I simmer the chutney?

You should simmer the chutney uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking.

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes, but you'll need to peel and chop them. Use about 1.5 to 2 cups of fresh tomatoes to match the volume of canned tomatoes.

How do I store leftovers of the chutney?

Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

What can I substitute for Vienna sausage?

You can substitute Vienna sausage with cooked and chopped hot dogs or any other cooked sausage, such as kielbasa or smoked sausage, for a similar flavor.

Cooking Tips:

- Use high-quality olive oil to enhance the flavors in the dish.

- Make sure to brown the sausage well; it adds a depth of flavor to the chutney.

- You can add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are too acidic.
