Major Grey chutney you say? Do I have the recipe for you (I do). It sounds cheap, because it pretty much is. It is also incredibly delicious and I've been making it since I was a kid. You'll need:

4 medium sized yellow onions, minced (sounds like a lot, but they cook down a lot)
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 lb. Ground chuck or sirloin
1 TBSP ap flour
1/4 cup golden raisins (regular raisins are a fine substitute)
1/4 cup blanched almond slices
1.5 tsp. freshly minced ginger
1 TBSP Curry Powder (plus extra for dusting)
1 cup beef broth (more if you deem necessary)
1 small box frozen green peas
major grey chutney for finished dish
Cooked white or basamati rice (do not use brown rice!!!)

In a large hot skillet, over medium heat, add a drop of olive oil and cook onions for a few minutes. Add garlic, stir, and then add beef until almost fully browned. Drain the fat. Add flour, stir. Add almonds, ginger, curry powder, broth, and simmer for around ten minutes. Add peas and raisins and simmer for an additional five minutes.

If the curry seems runny, add more flour. Too thick? Add more broth, but this recipe is basically fool proof.

Serve curry over rice. I put additional curry powder on the plated meal, but I love curry powder. Serve with chutney on the side, taking a little tad with every other bite.

Enjoy.

Huh, didn't realize chutney was a whole smorgasborg of things. My mother made tomato chutney when I was a kid, thought that was the only kind.

A good Major Grey chutney will change your life.

Not really, but you'll like it.

edit* The grocery store "Flower bags" shaped like a V made killer piping/filling bags. Clip the tip and add/or don't add a piping tip by shoving it through the wide end and you win either way.

I just munched on a peanut butter sandwich, cheddar cheese stick, and drank a lime Jarritos. The lime ones are getting harder to find.

Two and a few. Next time you are at the grocery store, the size of French Bread should be the same length.

Veggie stir fry tonight. Broccoli, bok choy, carrots, red bell pepper, mung bean sprouts, celery, onion, toasted Szechuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, and a squirt of my stiry fry sauce served over sushi rice.

Slice of country ham, warmed.
Cage free chicken egg (worth the extra scratch).
