Default 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?

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.

Default 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.

Default 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?

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.

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.

Default Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?

She's been talking about making this for a YEAR. She even wrote out the recipe last summer, suggesting that *I* make it, since I had a surplus of yellow squash. Then, when I never made it, she was going to take my squash and do it for me, except that I don't have much this year.

All I know is that it has ACV in it, and I'm not a huge fan of ACV. (I'll be turning in my "crunchy" card now... ) Do I have to eat it? No one else in my house will touch it for sure, although DH asked me how it tastes tonight (assuming that I had dived right in, apparently).

Default Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?

I would try it, but I like relish, even if I don't care for zucchini that much. I'd try it on a sandwich or a hot dog. I'd also do it to be polite. If you hate it at least you can say you tried it and thank her.

Default Re: How do you eat zucchini relish?

I don't really eat hot dogs or sandwiches due to our complicated food allergies.

I told DH that I'd try it if he did. He said "My mom knows I don't like relish. Maybe tomorrow."

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?

Pair it with something savory or salty. Do you do eggs? It might be good on an omelet.

We're allergic to eggs, unfortunately.
