COOK’S TIP
This relish will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, tightly sealed.
PREPARING A PEPPER
1 Place it on its side and cut off the top and bottom. Stand on one of the cut ends and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the core and seeds.
2 Lay each section flat on the cutting board. Remove the remaining pale, fleshy ribs, then roughly cut the flesh into chunks.
