How do you eat zucchini relish?
MIL made zucchini relish. She didn't process it, so it's sitting in my fridge staring at me. She went to a lot of trouble to be sure it was allergen-free for us, so I really do have to eat it. The problem is I don't know what to eat it with - I've never had relish before. The only thing I know to do is to put it on a hot dog, but I'm not sure that works with zucchini relish.
Any suggestions?

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I've never had zucchini relish, but I'm wondering if it is similar to chow-chow. If it is, you can eat it as a condiment with chicken or beef.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
You can use zucchini relish on whatever you'd use regular (cucumber) relish on. I've had it before and it tastes pretty similar. That said, I only ever use it on hotdogs and burgers, so I'm up for hearing other suggestions, too! I made cucmber relish for the first time this year (canned) and I'll be making a canner load of green tomato relish soon as well.
ETA: Oh, and I put a little relish in my tuna salad sandwiches. |

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
Yeah, see that's the problem - I never use condiments with my meat. DH likes to cook the meat with a sauce or seasoning on it. You'd want to make plain chicken to go with the relish, right?
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ---------- Huh. Apparently Canadians and Americans do relish differently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relish I looked up chow chow, and one of the uses is on pinto beans. I might give that a try. I've got plain beans.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
No idea, but sounds like a genius way to use up extra zucchini! Have you tasted it? I wouldn't think it's that much different...cucumbers and zucchinis are both squash.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I've been too afraid to try it.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I tried it. It's sweet. I'm still not sure what I'd want to use it with. It's too sweet for dinnner, not sweet enough for dessert, kwim?

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
Pair it with something savory or salty. Do you do eggs? It might be good on an omelet.

We're allergic to eggs, unfortunately.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
I've never had relish on anything other than hots dogs and tuna.

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
Try it with pork. I love cranberry sauce with pork. The sweetness works.
ETA: I just remembered that you might eat kosher. Ignore that if you do. |

Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?
We're not kosher, but I don't eat pork. I asked MIL what to eat it with, and she said pork chops, sausages, hamburgers, and tuna fish. None of those things are in regular rotation at our house except tuna, which we eat only occasionally because of the mercury content..
