Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 large red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes and the red onion into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly softened.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and brown sugar over the tomato mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Pour in the white vinegar and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the relish cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a little more sugar for extra sweetness or a pinch of salt for balance.
Once the relish is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
