Cranberry Orange Chutney

  • 12 oz pack of fresh cranberries

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon all spice
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Zest of 1 orange

Potato Cakes

  • 2 medium russet potatoes boiled (1.5 cups mashed potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup spinach chopped
  • 1/4 cup carrot chopped
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 4 Tbls oil

Instructions
 

For the Cranberry Orange Chutney

  • Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Once oil is hot, add onion and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes or till the onion is soft and cooked.
  • Add cranberries, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, all spice, salt and pepper and mix till everything is well combined.
  • Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes or till the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from pan and add zest of 1 orange. Let the chutney cool completely before serving

For the Cake

  • In a bowl mix together mashed potatoes, chopped spinach, chopped carrot, parmesan cheese, flour, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Mix till it all comes together as a dough.
  • Make 8 equal sized cakes from the dough. I used an ice cream scoop to make equal sized cakes. Place panko bread crumbs on a plate and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Once oil is hot, roll the cakes into Panko bread crumbs and then put them in to the hot oil.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or till nicely golden brown in color.
  • Remove from pan and drain on a kitchen towel.
  • To Serve: Arrange the potato cakes on your serving plate/tray. Place around 1 teaspoon of cranberry orange chutney on top of each cake. Serve immediately.
