Red Onion, Tomato And Chilli Relish

• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 225 g ripe tomatoes
• 1 small red chile, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 120 ml balsamic vinegar
• salt & freshly ground black pepper

1. Start off by skinning the tomatoes - put the tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiling water over them and leave for 1 minute and then drain them and slip off the skins.
2. In a food processor, add the onion, tomatoes, chilli and garlic and blend until finely chopped.
3. Place the mixture in a saucepan over low heat and add the sugar and vinegar.
4. Simmer very gently, without the lid on, for 2 hours, by then the mixture will have reduced to a thick sauce.
5. Stir frequently towards the end of cooking time so the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
6. Taste to check the seasoning - serve hot or cold.
