Smoked Pepper Chutney – Mam ellada

The sweet smell of peppers and the smoky paprika flavors are a winning combination.

This Italian sweet pepper flavor is sweet and fruity with more vitamin C content than green bell peppers. Vitamin B6 is moderate in content (17% DV). If you thought citrus fruits packed a powerful punch when it comes to being a good source of vitamin C, peppers have them beat. Green peppers have twice the amount of vitamin C by weight than citrus fruits, and this powerful punch of vitamin C is an antioxidant that may be effective in preventing certain cancers. Red Carmen Italian sweet chili peppers have three times as much vitamin C as the green varieties and are a good source of beta carotene.

The sweetness created when cooking the peppers calms the heat of the chilies, giving the chutney a lovely warmth.
