Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish
Description
Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish mixes diced onions, garlic, and a variety of peppers gently cooked in butter and oil until softened but not browned. The addition of finely chopped red chili adds a subtle heat to the vividly textured vegetable base. Sweetness from brown sugar and ketchup marries with the slight tartness of lime and clementine juices, while American-style mustard adds a nuanced sharpness. Cooking the mixture under a lid allows the flavors to meld into a thick relish with a balanced chunky bite.
The relish is versatile, usually served warm with burgers or any barbecued meat, but can be chilled if preferred. Its maintained chunky texture and flavor make it a flavorful contrast to grilled proteins and sandwiches.
After preparation, leftovers can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen to extend shelf life. Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
