Tonight is the opening of our town's summer festival, "Old Home Days", which starts with a parade. As this is a not to be missed event, we planned dinner around it. T and I made the potato salad this afternoon and we all ate early, so we could get out and watch. The parde was great and dinner was incredible. We discovered this recipe last summer and it is truly transcendent. Also, it's incredibly easy to make. The only note I really have is that this one is dependent on the Major Gray's chutney - I don't think it's as good with plain mango chutney. So, you probably have to buy an unusual ingredient. Trust me though - this is worth it.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Potatoes, shallot, watermelon
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead:This is great warm or cool.

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
