Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) ripe tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (Whole30-compliant)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tomatoes. Score an 'X' at the bottom of each tomato using a sharp knife. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, and blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds, or until the skin starts to loosen. Immediately transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to cool.

Step 2

Peel the tomatoes and discard the skins. Remove the seeds for a smoother relish, if desired, and dice the tomato flesh into small, even pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely dice half of a red onion and mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley and basil leaves and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, red wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red chili flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish has thickened slightly and the flavors are well combined.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, and basil.

Step 8

Allow the tomato relish to cool before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
