Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 1 small red onion
• 0.5 cups white vinegar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the shredded carrots. Mix well.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black mustard seeds, turmeric, ground ginger, and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mustard seeds begin to pop and the mixture becomes aromatic.

Step 5

Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the carrot and onion mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Let the relish cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to help distribute the flavors.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the carrot relish to a clean, airtight jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve as a condiment with sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, or grilled dishes. The relish will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
