Pepper, Onion, and Tomato Relish

Wash the tomatoes and toss them into a pot, stems and all. Simmer for about 15 minutes until softened. No need to mash them or add water.

Dice the bell peppers and onions finely.

All vegetable weights are given net (peeled and prepped).

Drain off the excess liquid from the tomatoes. This will significantly cut down our reduction time.

Pass the tomatoes through a sieve to remove the skins. Return the smooth tomato puree to the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Sauté the onions and peppers in vegetable oil, then add them to the tomato puree.

Season with salt, sugar, and ground black pepper. Simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
