Ingredients

• 1 large white onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium ripe tomato, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 hot chili pepper (e.g., jalapeño or red chili), finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel the white onion and slice it in half lengthwise. Thinly slice each half into very fine half-moons.

Step 2

Place the sliced onion in a bowl of cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes to reduce its sharpness. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained onion slices, chopped cilantro, diced tomato, minced garlic, and finely chopped chili pepper.

Step 4

Drizzle the mixture with red wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly again.

Step 6

Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Alternatively, refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving for a more intense flavor profile.

Step 7

Serve as a condiment alongside grilled meats, empanadas, or fresh bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
