Green Tomato and Walnut Relish
- 2 pounds green tomatoes
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar, or to taste
- 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, washed well, spun dry, and chopped
- Pinch dried hot red pepper flakes, if desired
- Using a long handled fork char tomatoes over an open flame, turning them, until skins are blackened, 2 to 8 minutes.
- (Alternatively, broil tomatoes on a rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, turning, until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.)
- Transfer tomatoes to a plate and let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Peel and core tomatoes and chop coarse.
- In a bowl toss tomatoes with remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- Let relish stand, covered, at room temperature 3 hours to develop flavors.
- Relish may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- Serve relish at room temperature.
