Savory Simplicity: Mastering Tomato Relish in Bulk!

There are numerous ways to make tomato relish, as variations exist based on personal preferences, cultural influences, and regional recipes.

But the Yak recipe for Tomato Relish can be made in the oven to serve a large batch

Ingredients:

• 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of ripe tomatoes, diced
• 3 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cups (400 grams) of granulated sugar
• 1 ½ cups (355 ml) of white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on the stovetop. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Once the mixture is simmering, cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it bake for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. After an hour, remove the lid and continue baking for another 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the relish has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally during this time to prevent the relish from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
7. Once the relish has thickened, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
8. Transfer the tomato relish to sterilized jars or containers. Seal them tightly and refrigerate. The relish will continue to develop its flavors over the next few days.
9. Serve the tomato relish as a condiment with burgers, sandwiches, grilled meats, or any dish of your choice. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks.
