Quick and Easy Banana Mango Chutney
I live on a hilltop in Costa Rica and have an over-abundance of mangoes and bananas growing wild all over our property - so when I found this wonderful recipe for Cuban Ahi with Banana-Mango Chutney by Chef Manami, I couldn't resist. It turned out wonderfully and I am posting the chutney by itself so I can group it in a separate cookbook. I've made some tweaks based on personal preference - but the original recipe is awesome. You can use just ripe bananas if you don't have green - but I like the texture when using both. Thank you, Manami!!!

- To make ginger juice: place peeled and chopped fresh ginger in a Magic Bullet type blender jar, add small amount of water (just enuf to blend), blend till liquefied and strain into glass container.
