This recipe was shared with us by the Tamarillo Growers Association; adapted from a recipe by the much-loved Kiwi food writer Digby Law. This version uses dates to reduce the amount of sugar needed.

3.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a cookie tray. Process the rolled oats to a fine floury meal, then add walnuts and pulse to crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients, pulsing to form a dough.

4.

Dust bench with wholemeal flour and roll dough about 5mm thick. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter or glass and place on greased tray. Prick once or twice with a fork and bake for about 11 minutes or until golden around edges. Makes approx. 24

The chutney recipe can be doubled; in which case you will need to increase the simmering time to about 2 hours.
