Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small evenly sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the diced tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using) to the saucepan.
Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the relish to cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken as the tomatoes break down and excess liquid evaporates.
Taste and adjust for seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or sweetener to suit your preference.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the relish to cool slightly before transferring to a jar or airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite low-carb dishes.
