Prep time:

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Total time:

Serves: 6

8 Ripe Tomatoes

1 Red Onion

1 Red Chili Pepper

1 Clove Garlic

1tsp Oregano

½tsp Salt

This is a fantastically quick way of making a relish - and a great way to use up a glut of tomatoes.

  1. Chop all the ingredients finely and add to the jar, mashing them down each time and adding a little salt as you go.
  2. There should be enough juice to cover the mixture, but add a little water if necessary.
  3. Leave a 2cm gap to allow for expansion and cover with muslin/a tea towel.
  4. Leave in a warm place for 3-5 days and then refrigerate.
