Tomato relish

  • 1 BANANA, chopped
  • 1 ONION, chopped
  • 2 TBSP SOY SAUCE
  • 6 DATES, chopped
  • JUICE FROM 1 LEMON
  • 1 CHILI PEPPER, chopped
 
  • 4 TOMATOES, peeled and chopped
  • 1 ONION, chopped
  • 1 RED PEPPER, in pieces
  • 2 CHILI PEPPER, cut in thin strips
  • 2 TBSP BROWN SUGAR
  • 100 GRAM VINEGAR
  • 1 TSP SALT
  • FRESH MILLED BLACK PEPPER

Fry the onions for 5 minutes. Add all other ingredients and 1 cup of water. Simmer for 30 minutes. Delicious with grilled fish.

Put all ingredients together in a pan with one cup of water, bring to the boil and simmer for two hours. Add water if necessary.


Relish
is more or less the same as chutney; the cooking time may be a bit shorter though. Therefore, chutney is normally softer and the sugar may be caramelized.

Chutney
comes from the Indian "chatni", which means "strongly spiced". Normally, it is made out of fruit pieces, vinegar, sugar, peppers and/or other spices.  
Chutney is nice with Indian food but also as a replacement of mustard with cheese.  

Salsa
has most probably an Aztec Indian background and is made of tomatoes and chillies as main ingredients. Salsa means "sauce". Salsa is cooked shortly and is not sweet or caramelized.
