How to use relish
- Snags and burgers. A spoon of tomato or onion relish beats plain sauce on anything off the barbie.
- Steak sangas. Caramelised onion relish and a slice of cheese, done.
- Cheese boards. Fig, tamarillo and onion-cranberry relishes sit well beside brie, cheddar and cured meats.
- Mix it. Stir a hot relish through mayo for a quick burger spread.
- Store it. Refrigerate after opening and use a clean spoon.
Relish vs chutney: what's the difference?
Both are cooked with vinegar and sugar. Relish is usually chunkier and sharper, built to top food. Chutney is often cooked longer, softer and more jammy, and leans spiced and fruity. On this page you'll find both, plus piccalilli and slaw-style relishes from Chuck Hughes in Montreal. Many jars here are tagged gluten free, and several are vegan. Check the ingredient list on each product page; recipes can change.
