Burger Relish
This was listed on a website as an authentic Wimpy relish recipe. We don’t think that’s right and, as ever, we have adjusted the recipe slightly to suit our tastes. It may not be Wimpy relish but it is delicious with burgers!
Burger Relish
Ingredients
- 1 small Red Onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic finely chopped
- 550 g Tomatoes skinned and chopped
- 1 small Chilli finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Cornflour
- 150 ml Red Wine Vinegar
- 75 g Sugar
- 50 g Butter
- 100 g Gherkins finely chopped
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a pan and fry the onion gently until the onion is translucent but not coloured in any way
- Add the garlic and the chilli and cook for another two minutes without colouring the onion or garlic
- Add the tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes until most of the tomato has broken down
- Add the paprika and cook for another 2 minutes
- Add the vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to a boil
- Once boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes until the relish reaches jam consistency
- Add a little water to the cornflour, stir into the relish and bring the mixture back to a boil and cook for one minute until the relish has really thickened
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the chopped gherkin
- Pour the relish into sterilised jars. It will keep in the fridge for months!
Notes
This relish is excellent but goes particularly well with our Best Burger Ever!
Hi, was just wondering, would balsamic vinegar work in place of red wine vinegar as I wouldn’t end up using a the rest of red wine vinegar and so would be a waste.
There is no reason not to use balsamic vinegar. I would be inclined to cut it down a bit as 150ml would make it very sweet. 50ml would work!
