Habanero Pepper Relish Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash and chop peppers. I leave seeds in because we like the heat. Wash and chop bell peppers. Chop onions. I use a food processor to get it all done quickly.
• 2. In a large pot combine your peppers & onion with apple cider vinegar, seasoning (put pickling spice in cheesecloth). Bring to a boil. I also add a few dashes of a honey lime balsamic vinegar we love. When you take it off the heat, stir in 1 Tbsp. Turmeric.
• 3. Sterilize jars and lids. Fill jars, wipe sides and put on lids and rings. Hot water bath for 10 minutes. Let set until they all seal.
• 4. Made 2 half pints, 9 pints and 12 4 oz jars.

Steps:

• Make the red-pepper relish: Combine red peppers, onion, garlic, ginger and habanero pepper in a food processor. Pulse into a coarsely chopped purée. (You can also finely mince the ingredients with a sharp knife.)
• In a shallow medium sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Add the turmeric, and toast until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the relish and crushed tomato, and bring up to a simmer. Allow the relish to simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a paste and turns a shade darker in color, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt to taste.
• Prepare the fish: Set the oven to broil. Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the fillets by making 2 parallel cuts across the width. Be careful not to cut all the way through the flesh. Place the fillets on a large rimmed baking sheet, and season both sides with salt. Using a spoon or gloved hands, spread 1 cup of the relish generously over both sides of each fillet, working the marinade into the cuts.
• Scatter the chard around the edges of the fillets on the pan, tucking a few pieces under the fish. (You want a nice char on the fish, so don't cover the fillets with chard pieces.) Drizzle the fillets and chard with oil, and season with more salt. Broil until fish is charred in spots, cooked through and the chard is starting to wilt and brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• As the fish cooks, make a quick dressing: Combine the remaining relish, lime zest, juice and 1/4 cup oil. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and scatter the torn cilantro over the fish and chard. Spoon the dressing over everything. Serve fish with any leftover dressing on the side.
