Ingredients
- 40 g Chili peppers, red, raw
- 15 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Walnuts
- 5 g Cilantro, fresh
- 3 g Dill, fresh
- 0.5 g Fenugreek seeds
- 1 g Coriander seeds
- 5 g Vinegar, red wine
- 1.5 g Salt
Method
- Makes about 200 g of relish (about 4 servings as a condiment); the quantities here are for one serving, so multiply by 4 for a jar to keep.
- Deseed the chilies if you want it milder, then roughly chop them with the garlic, walnuts, cilantro and dill.
- Grind the fenugreek and coriander seeds finely if not already ground.
- Blend or pound everything together with the ground spices, vinegar and salt into a coarse, thick paste.
- Simmer the paste gently for 3-5 minutes to soften the raw edge and help it keep longer, then cool completely.
- Store in a sealed jar in the fridge and use sparingly as a fiery condiment with grilled meat, cheese or bread.
