Easy Garlic Relish
Description
This refreshing garlic cucumber relish is a fantastic way to add a burst of freshness to your meals. Made with just two simple ingredients, it offers a crisp texture and a sharp, aromatic punch from the garlic. The raw cucumber provides a cool, juicy counterpoint to the pungent cloves, creating a balanced flavor profile that is both light and satisfying. It is incredibly versatile, serving as an excellent topping for grilled fish, chicken, or even as a side to heavy stews. This vegan, low-calorie condiment is quick to prepare and requires no cooking, making it an ideal addition to summer picnics or healthy weeknight dinners.Ingredients
Directions
-
Wash the unwaxed garden cucumber thoroughly; do not peel it to retain texture and nutrients.
-
Slice the cucumber into chunks small enough to fit into the food processor feed tube.
-
Place the cucumber chunks and the two peeled garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor.
-
Pulse the mixture several times until it is coarsely chopped but still retains some crunch.
-
Line a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee cone with a filter and place it over a bowl.
-
Transfer the processed cucumber mixture into the lined sieve to drain excess moisture.
-
Let the relish drain for at least one hour, or until the desired consistency is reached.
-
Season the drained relish with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
