Red Onion Relish

(in the Latin style)

Serves

A lot!

Hardware

• Large mixing bowl.

Ingredients

2		red onions, diced small
1	clove	garlic, minced
5	Tblsp	lime juice
1		hot pepper, chopped small
1	Tblsp	ground cumin
1	tsp	chili powder
		Fresh ground black pepper
		Salt

Procedure

1. Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Notes

If you don't have a fresh hot pepper, you can use 1 - 1 1/2 tsp of dried red pepper flakes.

The original recipe called for 2 Tblsp of cilantro (chopped), but this is one of the few times I disagree with Messrs. Schlesinger and Willoughby. I say leave it out.

This make a lot of relish; I suggest reducing the quantities to 1/3 or even 1/4.

Goes well on black beans and rice.
