Instructions
-
Start by preparing your ingredients. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.
-
Heat the olive oil. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
-
Sauté the onions and garlic. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté them until the onions turn translucent and soft—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes and vinegar. Toss in the chopped tomatoes and pour in the red wine vinaigrette. Stir everything together and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and break down into a mushy consistency. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
-
Reduce the liquid. Continue cooking until you notice the liquid begins to evaporate and the mixture thickens, which will help concentrate the flavors.
-
Season and sweeten. Stir in the Dijon mustard, black pepper, dried oregano, cane sugar, and salt to taste. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the relish has fully thickened and the flavors are well combined.
-
Cool and store. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the relish to cool completely. Transfer it to a clean glass container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the fridge. This relish will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
