Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, and minced garlic.
-
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper over the tomato mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and honey until well combined.
-
Pour the vinegar mixture over the tomato mixture and stir gently to combine.
-
Transfer the relish mixture into a clean, sterilized glass jar, pressing down gently to remove any air pockets. Make sure there is enough liquid to cover the vegetables.
-
Close the jar with a tight-fitting lid, but not too tight to allow fermentation gases to escape.
-
Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days to ferment, checking daily to release any built-up gases by slightly loosening the lid.
-
After the desired fermentation time, taste the relish for flavor. If it's to your liking, stir in the chopped cilantro. If not, allow it to ferment a bit longer for more depth of flavor.
-
Store the Fermented Smoky Tomato Relish in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy it as a condiment with grilled meats, sandwiches, or even mixed with creamy mayonnaise for a dip.
