Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium ripe tomato, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 hot chili pepper (e.g., jalapeño or red chili), finely chopped
Instructions
Peel the white onion and slice it in half lengthwise. Thinly slice each half into very fine half-moons.
Place the sliced onion in a bowl of cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes to reduce its sharpness. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained onion slices, chopped cilantro, diced tomato, minced garlic, and finely chopped chili pepper.
Drizzle the mixture with red wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly again.
Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Alternatively, refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving for a more intense flavor profile.
Serve as a condiment alongside grilled meats, empanadas, or fresh bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
