A fruity, sweet and sour relish that is great with grilled or pan-fried chicken breast and white rice. This might work with firm-fleshed peaches, too. You can substitute the dried ginger with fresh. Ingredients:
2 medium nectarines |
1/2 red bell pepper |
2 small scallions, white and light green parts |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (sub with 1/4 t fresh ginger, peeled and minced) |
1 teaspoon liquid honey |
1 pinch salt |
2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon sugar, to taste (or more) |
1 pinch pepper |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced |
Directions:
1. Note: If you sub fresh ginger for the dried, warm it together with the honey.
2. Wash and dry nectarines and bell pepper, cut nectarines from pit. With a potato peeler thinly peel the pepper ( this works good only with fresh plump peppers, but it makes for a much nicer texture of the dish). Cut peppers and nectarines in 1/8-1/4 inch dice. Wash and trim scallions, cut into 1/8 inch rings.
3. Warm honey in a small pot over medium low heat. Add nectarines, scallions and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Add all the other ingredients, adjust taste and put in a serving bowl. Serve cold or slighly warm with chicken and rice.
