- 250 ml red wine vinegar
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 whole bay leaves
Instructions
Wash and peel the beetroot, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor's shredding disc.
Peel the red onion and finely chop it.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the grated beetroot to the pan, stirring well to combine with the onion.
Pour in the red wine vinegar and add the sugar, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Add the salt, black pepper, ground coriander, and bay leaves to the mixture, stirring well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Let the relish cook for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the bay leaves and taste the relish, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
Allow the relish to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage.
Seal the jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
