Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe tomatoes
• 1 large red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes and the red onion into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Stir in the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and brown sugar over the tomato mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Pour in the white vinegar and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the relish cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a little more sugar for extra sweetness or a pinch of salt for balance.

Step 10

Once the relish is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Transfer the relish to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
