Mediterranean Style Relish

This is great on top of mushrooms, meat and pastas, as well as eaten with nothing more than bread.

  • 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 1/4 inch
  • small red onion, diced 1/4 inch
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, cut into fine strips (brunoise)
  • clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives (seed removed)
  • 3-4 tablespoons capers
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled or diced)
  • 1/8 cup sliced blanced almonds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6-7 tablespoons balsalmic vinegar
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 3-6 teaspoons salt
  • white pepper

Mix all ingredients together. As with all recipes, check the oil and vinegar combination. You may have to add a little bit more or less vinegar, depending on your own (or whoever your making this for) tastes. The same goes for the salt and pepper.

Let this sit for 1/2 hour or so (refrigerator is fine, so is counter) and stir before serving.
