Spiced Tomato Relish

This recipe is perfect for any overly squishy tomatoes you have, great to top burgers with, serve with cheese on toast or just spread over crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 500g overripe tomatoes
  • 1 tsp malt vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar (soft brown, preferably)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 clove (garlic, finely grated)
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes

Method

Chop tomatoes, so that they become a fine slush, then put into a heat proof bowl. Add the salt, sugar,
vinegar and black pepper into the tomatoes and leave to sit at room temperature. Any soft herbs you have would be great in this too, particularly oregano and/or basil.

In a saucepan gently heat the oil, garlic, coriander and chilli flakes until the garlic is slightly golden.

Pour the hot oil over the tomatoes and stir through. Leave the relish to sit at room temperature for at
least half an hour to allow the flavours to permeate and it will taste all the better.
