Strawberry Balsamic Chutney and Goat Cheese Bruschetta. An unusually delicious combination of flavours that's bound to surprise and delight at any party.
Originally published Feb 2013.
Strawberry Balsamic Chutney . With Valentines Day upon, we have once again decided to feature four new recipes this week for a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. This Strawberry Balsamic Chutney and Goat Cheese Bruschetta leads the way.
Our first recipe embraces bright red Valentine color in these very tasty nibbles. You can serve them before the main meal with either a chilled glass of white wine or a mellow red, like a Merlot.
This recipe takes Strawberries to the savoury side while retaining a little some of their natural sweetness. The sweetness balances the robust flavours in the rest of the chutney and goat cheese.
The chutney is an easy quick-cooked version, meant to be served warm with the goat cheese. My daughter and I shared this plate and agreed that the combination is scrumptious.

Hello,
I was wondering if you ever tried this with frozen strawberries?
Thanks!
It should be perfectly fine.
@Barry C. Parsons,
Should I thaw them first, and allow them to drain, before proceeding with the recipe? Many thanks!
@Terry, Thaw but do not drain.
How long should the sauté in step 4 take? How cooked down do you want the berries to be? Can I assemble these ahead of time for a Sunday brunch or will the toasts get soggy?They look delicious,?Thank you!!
You ant the texture to be jammy. I would not assemble until serving.
How long would this last in the fridge?
Probably a few days but the colour may dull.
What can I use in place of goat cheese
Any spreadable cheese yo like really.
This looks delicious! I'm having a dinner party this weekend...our strawberries are perfect this time of year...will make it for sure!
Did you toast your baquette plain for this or with some olive oil?
I toasted it plain.
