So this relish has been made to accompany "Cornflake Chicken in Warm Tortilla Wraps", however it would also go very well streamed salmon, BBQ'd pork chops or tossed through some plain cous cous as a side or snack.
It's very simple, very quick and required no cooking itself, but this relish still packs a punch in taste, which is what we want... all thanks to The Wee Kitchen Company!
The Wee Kitchen Company was originally, as the name suggests, a hobbie for founder and owner Jennifer who established her business from the comfort of her home and 'wee kitchen'. Jen's jams, which are "handmade with love", are infused with a wide range of flavours - some subtly tickling the tastebuds, others waking them up with a full blown fog horn - which personally, I like.
Jen lovingly hand crafts several different flavours of homemade jam which can vary in consistency from batch to batch due to the irregular nature of her fresh ingredients. Varieties range from Pineapple, Ginger, Chilli and Lime to Smoked Paprika, Tomato and Coriander- they all taste delish! For this taste sensation I opted for the "Fiery Three Chilli" as I personally love the full blown mix of sweet, smokey and hot chilli peppers in this pot of pure joy.
To 3 tablespoons of jam I added very finely chopped cucumber, red onion and quartered Picccolo tomatoes. I left all ingredients covered and to one side in order to come to room temperature (they had all been in the fridge before) aaand that's it! Told you it was simple...
Once my Cornflake Chicken had cooked, I sliced this, placed on a warm tortilla wrap and smothered with this beast of a best friend!
Please note: this relish becomes very watery due to the liquid within the cucumber and tomatoes. That doesn't take away from the flavour as they have been left to infuse however it doesn't look the best on a plate so I suggest just using the 'chunky' (now fiery) chopped items or squeeze excess water out of the veg before mixing with a grind of rock salt and a clean dish cloth or layered kitchen roll. Simples.
Close runner up to being chosen tonight was the Caramelised Onion and Chilli pot, however I think it's deep flavour would actually suit a steak far better. Go on, give them all a try for yourself and see which one you prefer, they make perfect marinades as well as a buddy to cheese boards too!
Well done Jen and Happy Munching! x
