Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil if desired, though the onions will release their own moisture.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and begin to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the finely chopped, de-seeded green chili and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the chili is tender.
  4. Add the salt, brown sugar, chili powder, and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes until the sugars dissolve and the mixture thickens slightly into a cohesive relish.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing.
