CHILE VINEGAR MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH ONION CILANTRO RELISH
Steps:
- To make the relish, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- To make the marinade, remove stems of the dried California and arbol chiles and shake out and discard seeds. Place chiles in a small saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit 20 minutes to soften. Drain and discard the water.
- In a small frying pan over moderate heat, toast the cumin seeds for 2 to 3 minutes or until aromas are released. Combine softened chiles, garlic, cumin seeds, jalapeno and red wine vinegar in a blender and puree at high speed 1 to 2 minutes, or until thick and smooth. Add olive oil and salt and blend again until well mixed.
- Place skirt steak in a large shallow glass or enamel dish and cover with marinade. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. To cook, preheat a grill or broiler. Grill steaks quickly for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until seared on the outside and pink inside. To serve, slice steaks against the grain on the diagonal and fan slices out on a platter. Serve the relish on the side.

ZIPPY ONION RELISH
This is an onion relish recipe that I cut out of BHG magazine possibly 30 years ago, it was submitted to them by Mrs. Nancy L. Mosiello, Concord, N.H. I make it a few times a year, especially if we are having grilled Italian sausage, but it's good on hotdogs and hamburgers as well. When my children were little I left out the red pepper because they were sensitive to any spiciness but it is easily adjusted to your tastes. The recipe is also easily halved if you won't use it up within two weeks.

Steps:
- Combine cucumbers, onion, red bell pepper, and ghost chile peppers in a large pot; add salt and toss to coat. Cover pot with a lid and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Mix sugar and vinegar into cucumber mixture and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until relish is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Label and date the jars and store in a cool, dark area.

PYAZ KA LACCHA (RAW ONION RELISH)
These floppy, lightly pickled onions are a traditional accompaniment to grilled and tandoor foods throughout India and the rest of South Asia. There are different versions depending on the region, but all are seasoned with salt, spiked with chile (either powdered or fresh) and brightened with some kind of acid, usually lemon juice or vinegar. This recipe, adapted from "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking" (Barron's, 1983), uses a combination of sweet paprika and cayenne for an earthy, nuanced flavor, and you can add the spices to taste, making this as fiery or mild as you like. Soaking the onion slices in water before mixing the relish helps soften their sharpness, but you can skip this step if you prefer a stronger onion flavor.

Steps:
- Put onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes. (This removes some of the onion's bite, but you can skip this step if you'd like a stronger onion flavor.)
- Drain onions and thoroughly pat dry. Return onions to the bowl and stir in lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. Taste and add more salt, lemon and spices, if you like.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside grilled or roasted meats and fish; stuff into sandwiches, especially grilled cheese or tuna salad; use as a topping for pizza, burgers and hot dogs; scramble into eggs; toss into salads, especially starchy grain and potato salads.
Tips:
- To make the most flavorful relish, use fresh, ripe onions. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, work well.
- Slice the onions thinly so they will cook evenly.
- Use a variety of vinegars to add different flavors to the relish. White vinegar is a classic choice, but you can also use red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. This will help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
- Season the relish with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Common additions include garlic, chili peppers, and cumin.
- Let the relish rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Store the relish in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Chilean onion relish is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping hot dogs, hamburgers, and tacos. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips. No matter how you choose to use it, Chilean onion relish is sure to please your taste buds.
