Tomato relish is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can elevate a variety of dishes. Made with simple, fresh ingredients, it strikes a balance between tangy and sweet, making it an excellent addition to meats, sandwiches, or even as a topping for grilled vegetables. Follow this easy recipe to create a delicious tomato relish that's perfect for any occasion.
Instructions:
- Finely chop the 1/2 red onion and set aside.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion to the saucepan.
- Saute the onions for about 3-5 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the saucepan.
- Stir well to combine the onions and tomatoes.
- Pour in the 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Stir everything together to ensure the tomatoes get a sweet and tangy flavor.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of dried oregano.
- Stir to make sure the oregano is evenly distributed.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. You want the tomatoes to break down and release their juices, forming a thick, relish-like consistency.
- Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if needed (you may add more sugar, vinegar, or salt according to your taste).
- Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
- Once cool, transfer the tomato relish to a serving dish.
- Serve the tomato relish with your favorite dishes such as grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a dip.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Consider letting the relish sit for a few hours or even overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Adjust the sugar and vinegar to your taste preferences for a sweeter or tangier relish.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or chopped fresh chili.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can lightly mash the tomatoes while cooking.
