Quick Tomato Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, toss together 1kg diced, ripe on-the-vine plum tomatoes, 2 diced red onions, 150ml extra virgin olive oil and 2 tsp flaky sea salt. Tip onto a baking tray and place under a hot grill for 5-10 mins or until charred.
• Tip back into the bowl, stir in 2 grated garlic cloves and 3 tbsp small capers and leave to cool for 10 mins. Stir in 3 tbsp chopped parsley and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• In a small pan heat the oil and add tomatoes cut into quarters. Gently fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 - 12 mins. Alter seasoning and balsamic vinegar/sugar to taste. Allow to cool and place in a jar and chill in fridge.

Steps:

• In a grinder or food processor, coarsely grind tomatoes, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and onions. (You may need to do this in batches.) Line a large colander with cheesecloth, place in sink or in a large bowl, and pour in tomato mixture to drain for 1 hour.
• In a large, non-aluminum stockpot, combine tomato mixture, celery seed, mustard seed, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Sterilize enough jars and lids to hold relish (12 one-pint jars, or 6 one-quart jars). Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
• Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Relish can be stored for up to a year.
