Chili-Cucumber Relish

I learned a great new recipe the other day, it is simple and can be paired with a wide variety of foods such as grilled fish, chicken and rice

The pan of carmelized vegetables

Ramekins of this asian inspired relish

1. 1 cucumber
2. 1 red onion
3. 2 red chili peppers
4. white balsamic vinegar
5. white sugar

• Dice all vegetables
• Put sugar into pan with a bit of water, heat sugar until the beginning stages of carmelization.
• add a few splashes of vinegar and stir.
• Remove from heat and add all vegetables; all the while stirring.
• Keep the vegetables in a hot pan for a few minutes then place the relish into a seperate bowl. Don’t bother with the juices leftover, keep only the diced and coated vegetables.

Remember to wash your hands and the cutting board after cutting up the pepper. The oils from the pepper can irritate  the sensitive parts of your skin and is not healthy for pets or animals.

but most important of all, enjoy!
