I made a beautiful tomato relish on sunday and i am just wondering what i can bake with it.

I have 6 jars in the cupboard but i ran out of jars so filled up a 2L container of relish and refilled the jar i had in the fridge.

TIA would love to hear your thoughts

Put the container in the freezer.There will always be a rainy day...

Partner and i are getting sick of just using it on cheese and crackers. Made some scone pinwheels the other day with feta and the relish. very yummy but would like to do something else. might try pizzas. still open to suggestions though :)

All cold meats.

Get creative and be prepared to experiment with different tastes. How about cooked cold sausages, split lenghtwise down the middle and filled with relish? Or are you a vegetarian?

In which case there are a 101 and one pulse/legume creations that would go well.

Rice and relish are nice - salad or glutinous rice balls.

I've caught my DH stirring it into plain, unsweetened yoghurt. He looked a bit sheepish about that though.

Don't be in to big a hurry to use it up it will keep and you can use it heaps of ways throughout winter. Few ideas, Spread it on weiner snitchel before putting onions mushrooms, tomatoes cheese etc on to bake, use in sauces for making winter stews, casseroles,meatballs.pizzas, dips, sandwiches, burgers, patties, savoury pinwheels with pkt of fav dried soup mix then spread relish on roll up and bake,all cold meats, pastry strips spread with relish, grated cheese and baked yummy snacks..

no i am not a vegetarian. although im a member of PETA (People for the Eating of Tasty Animals) little chuckle. :) i thought about doing stuffed sausages with maybe some mash and cheese as well. i am doing spaghetti bolognaise for dinner so i can use some of the relish up and because i love cooking with it.

i am in a slight hurry. this relish isnt a good friend of the freezer it makes it a lot more watery. so trying to avoid freezing. giving heaps away but im still left with a lot :) swapped a container with the neighbour for some green beans :) yumm!

OMG. Relish and mashed potatoes. Another one of those danged treats that make me want to go on a diet holiday.

hehe ive been using the relish as my tomato sauce at the moment. had sausages, corn, beans and mash last night for dinner with relish :) gives it a tasty edge

If it has plenty of chilli in it, I've got family members who eat it with a spoon from the jar :)
tipsy_bl0nde, Jan 12, 12:17am
hahahaha it does indeed have a good heat to it. i think 6 chillis made it in. Thank gosh to the food processor getting it all really fine. would be bad for my daughter (2) to get a bit chunk of chilli wow that would be hectic.

The texas savoury muffins I make use 1/2 a cup of relish. I just do a double standard cheese muffin mix and add 1/2C relish, 1 chopped red capsicum, some chopped ham or salami (or both), fresh parsley and spring onion. They are delicious and very filling. They also freeze well.

I always use it in bacon and egg pies. Put big dollops of relish all over the bacon and eggs before putting the pastry top on. Relish is also good in a beef curry.
rainrain1, Jan 12, 5:54am
Do this with it.....you can scoop out what you need as it doesn't freeze solid

nice in a curry too, I add relish to many of my mince dishes for extra flavour.

dont eat it all now, imagine those warm sunny days we occassionaly get in june, keep some for then, on crackers or whatever.

Make a guacamole using tomato relish, crushed garlic, and avocados chill in the fridge yummy

Tipsy...
sounds like time to trade some of the relish for something fantastic your friends/neighbours have an excessive amount of....or maybe get down to your local farmers market!!

Cook up sliced mushrooms, cool and then stir in relish and sour cream to taste - really nice salad or side dish.
