A good relish is a great addition to any meal. It can be served as part of the meal or you can eat it on crackers or toasted bagels. Here are a couple of relish recipes that will add a little kick to any meal or snack.
Bean Relish
For this simple relish recipe, you will need seven 16-ounce cans of kidney beans, minced onion, garlic cloves, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, salt, white pepper, and dry mustard.
To prep for this recipe, you will need to open, drain, and rinse the cans of kidney beans and mince one garlic clove.
Combine the seven cans of kidney beans, 1/2 cup of minced onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 cups of mayonnaise, and 2 cups of sweet pickle relish in a medium bowl. Mix well than add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of dry mustard, and a pinch of white pepper then stir. This relish is better if you can refrigerate it for at least a few hours before serving it.
Zucchini Relish
If you have been reading my blogs, you know I am a big fan of zucchini, so I love this zucchini relish – and I hope you will too!
For this recipe, you will need one zucchini, one small onion, white sugar, chopped fresh basil, one red bell pepper, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. To prep for this recipe, you will need to chop your zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper into small pieces.
Combine 1 cup of chopped zucchini, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, 2 tablespoons of chopped red bell pepper, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir well. Like the first relish, this one tastes best if you allow it to refrigerate for a while before serving. The zucchini relish is especially tasty with salmon.
