Found a few old tomatoes hanging around? Don’t throw them out, transform them into a delicious relish instead!
This version uses dried fruit (use anything in your cupboard - dates, currants or sultanas) to sweeten and add an extra depth of flavour. The chia seeds will swell as the relish sets, which will give it a lovely jam-like finish.
We added a chopped chilli and some yellow mustard seeds for some spice, however you can mix it up with your own favourite flavours. Try some ginger or a little curry powder, add some onion or a splash of balsamic vinegar - whatever you have on hand!
This relish will keep refrigerated for up to 3 weeks in a sealed jar. Enjoy on toast, eggs, sandwiches or as a dip!
Makes 1 jar. You'll need a food processor or blender.
