My better half found this recipe as a great appetizer for the upcoming holiday season. And it is a great way to use some of the green tomato chutney that I recently made. We made a "test batch" this week, and it's already almost gone. So I think this recipe will definitely feature in our holiday party in the next few weeks.
You will add the following ingredients in a mixing bowl:
- 16 oz of softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of your chutney
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/2 clove of garlic, crushed
- 4 oz shredded Colby cheese
- 4 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Mix it all together and then form it into a ball on a plate. Then take 1/2 cup of pecans and chop them up on a cutting board so they are in small little pieces. Then gently coat the outside of your cheese ball with the nuts, and you're good to go!
The onions and garlic give it a nice bite, the chutney is sweet & acidic, and the cheese make it creamy and decadent. We used wheat crackers to go with ours. But I imagine you could dive into this thing with celery sticks, pretzels, or anything that trips your fancy.
