Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Red bell peppers
- 2 large Yellow bell peppers
- 2 medium Onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash and core the red and yellow bell peppers. Dice them into small, uniform pieces.
Peel and finely chop the onions.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they become translucent and soft.
Add the diced bell peppers and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers begin to soften.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the pan. The relish should thicken as it cooks.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or sugar if desired.
Remove from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or topping.
