Best Ever Chunky BBQ Relish

This chunky BBQ relish combines butter, rapeseed oil, garlic, onions, mixed peppers, and red chili for a rich, textured condiment. It balances sweetness from brown sugar and ketchup with tang from lime and clementine juices, and a touch of mustard for depth. The vegetables remain soft but not colored, offering a fresh yet cooked relish that complements burgers or grilled meats well. Served warm or cold, it can be stored refrigerated or frozen for convenience.

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.
