Easy Marinated Tomato

Ingredients

• Cherry tomatoes- You want cherry tomatoes in red, yellow, and orange to make the prettiest looking dish.
• Red onion- I like the flavor of red onions in this recipe but if you do not, you can use white onions.
• Basil- You want to use fresh basil in this recipe. It gives a deliciously bright flavor.
  
• Balsamic Vinegar- The balsamic vinegar adds a fantastic flavor to this relish.
• Rice wine vinegar- Rice wine gives a flavor similar to using red wine.
• Olive oil- You can use extra virgin olive oil or olive oil.
  
• Garlic- You want minced garlic. You can mine it yourself or buy pre-minced.
• Lemon juice- Lemon juice gives the right amount of acidity to the relish.
• Brown sugar- Brown sugar adds the right amount of sweetness but the molasses in the sugar adds another layer of flavor.
• Garlic salt- I like using garlic salt because it adds the salt and the garlic together in one.
• Seasoned pepper- Seasoned pepper gives a fantastic flavor
• Ground Oregano- I like to crush the ground oregano to bring out the most flavor.

What is the Difference Between Tomato Chutney and Tomato Relish?

Relish is almost always made from vegetables while a chutney is usually made with fruit. Since tomatoes are actually a fruit, though everyone considers them vegetables

Generally speaking, a relish is made with grated or cut up vegetables or fruit , while is chutney is almost always made with mainly fruit. … It is a spicy and aromatic condiment that contains fruit, sugar, vinegar and a whole array of spices. Chutneys can vary in texture from being smooth to rather chunky and coarse.

What is the Best Tomato To Make Marinated Tomates With?

While you could use any type of tomatoes, I like using cherry tomatoes. They are small so there is less prep work involved and they have a sweet candy like taste to them. The sweetness of the tomatoes plays with the vinegar to create the best flavor possible. Also, by using red, yellow, and orange tomatoes it creates a beautiful presentation.
