Chili relish can be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers, a topping for hot dogs and hamburgers, or as an ingredient in sandwiches and salads. It is also a great way to add flavor to grilled meats and vegetables. If you are looking for a delicious and versatile condiment, chili relish is a great choice.

Return the lamb to the pan, add the stock and beer; cover and cook at a simmer for over medium heat, about 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and the mixture has thickened. After 30 minutes, check seasoning and add honey. During the last 15 minutes, add the cinnamon and cooked beans. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Ladle into bowls and top with a large dollop of Cumin Crema, Avocado Relish, and Red Onion Relish. Serve with fry bread on the side.

PUMPKIN SOUP WITH CHILI CRAN-APPLE RELISH (FROM RACHAEL RAY)
Rachael Ray made this soup on her TV Food Network Thanksgiving Special show in 2004, "Thanksgiving in 60" (minutes) -- episode TMSP02. I don't think it appears in any of her cookbooks, because it wouldn't fit into the typical 30 minute meal, but it is available on the TVFN website, at least for a while. I downloaded the recipe, tried it and it tastes as wonderful as I thought it would ... clearly what makes this soup different from all the other "spicy pumpkin soup" recipes is the base of celery and onions, the use of a roux with chicken stock and the spicy relish/garnish ... It looks scary, with all the ingredients, but it's actually very fast, simple and delicious -- exactly as Rachael promised ... and if you love pumpkin soups, this will be a change from the usual ... Also, to make this kosher (meat), substitute coconut milk for the cream and use a kosher chicken stock. Flavor is more like a Thai pumpkin soup, with hot sauce rather than chili paste, but it works quite well. To make it kosher (milk), substitute a vegetable stock for the chicken stock. The mouth feel will be quite different but the flavor should be good. Be careful of the sodium content of the vegetable stock -- you will have to adjust the seasonings and may want to start by skipping the salt entirely in the Vegetable Base part. To make it kosher (parve), do both substitutions -- I have not tried the last two variations, so I can't vouch for the resulting flavor. Rachel says this makes 4 servings as an entree or 8 as a first course. Personally, I found 6 as a first course seemed more reasonable. The dietary information is based on a yield of 8 servings from this recipe.

Steps:
- Make the Vegetable Base (steps 2-6).
- Heat a medium size pot over medium to medium high heat.
- Add the oil, then the butter (the oil prevents the butter from burning); I prefer unsalted butter, but salted is OK-- just adjust the amount of salt you use in the seasoning step appropriately.
- Once the butter has melted, add the celery, onion, and bay leaf; If you don't have fresh bay, you can use dried, but you'll have to use less and the amount will depend on how old your herb is.
- Season with salt and pepper (Remember, you'll be able to adjust seasoning later, and if you're using canned chicken stock, it can be very salty, so if in doubt, go lightly at this stage).
- Cook until tender, 6-7 minutes.
- Add the Roux (steps 8-10).
- Add the flour, poultry seasoning and hot sauce (I use Tabasco, but any brand will do).
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, to let the flour cook-- you want a golden brown color, not a dark brown.
- Whisk in the chicken stock (I use a low sodium variety, but again, as long as you adjust for the amount of sodium, any brand will do) and bring the liquid to a bubble (above a simmer, but not a boil).
- Add the Pumpkin and Main Ingredients (steps 12-15).
- Whisk in the pumpkin in large spoonfuls.
- Simmer for 10 minutes to let all the ingredients thicken and the flavors come together.
- Add the cream and nutmeg and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
- To Make the Chili Cran-Apple Relish (garnish), combine all the relish ingredients (apple, onion, lemon juice, cranberries, chili powder, honey, cinnamon), then adjust the seasonings in the relish.
- To Serve (Presentation), adjust the seasonings in the soup, serve the soup in shallow bowls, and put several spoonfuls of the relish on top.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- AVOCADO-CHILI RELISH:.
- In a bowl whisk together olive oil, cilantro, jalapenos, shallots, and lime juice.
- Gently fold in tomatoes and avocados.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Prepare frankfurters as desired.- (We chose to grill them) over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the butter and garlic.
- Spread butter mixture on the sub rolls.
- In a large frying pan or on a grill rack over medium heat, place the rolls buttered side down and toast until light golden.
- TO SERVE:.
- Tuck frankfurters in toasted rolls and top with Avocado-Chili Relish. Serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
- *When working with hot chile peppers, wear plastic gloves or wash hands well after cutting; the peppers contain oil that may burn skin and eyes.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Chilies: Depending on your desired heat level, select a variety of chili peppers. For a milder relish, use poblanos or Anaheim peppers. For a medium heat, opt for jalapeños or serranos. If you crave a spicy kick, choose habaneros or cayenne peppers.
- Roast the Chilies: Roasting enhances the chilies' flavor and makes them easier to peel. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until their skins blister and char slightly. Alternatively, you can grill or broil them.
- Remove the Stems and Seeds: Once the chilies are roasted, let them cool slightly. Then, carefully remove the stems and seeds. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the chili oils.
- Chop the Chilies: Finely chop the roasted chilies. You can also use a food processor, but be sure to pulse it only until the chilies are coarsely chopped, not pureed.
- Add Other Ingredients: In addition to the chilies, your relish can include various other ingredients such as onions, garlic, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Experiment with different flavor combinations to create a relish that suits your taste.
- Process the Relish: You can either leave the relish chunky or process it to a smoother consistency. Use a food processor or blender to achieve your desired texture.
- Canning or Freezing: If you want to preserve your chili relish for longer, you can either can it or freeze it. Canning involves heating the relish to a high temperature and sealing it in jars. Freezing is a simpler method, where you simply store the relish in airtight containers in the freezer.
Conclusion:
With its vibrant color, spicy flavor, and versatile uses, chili relish is a delightful condiment that adds a piquant touch to your culinary creations. Whether you prefer a mild or fiery heat level, there's a chili relish recipe out there to suit your taste. Experiment with different chili varieties, ingredients, and preparation methods to create a relish that will tantalize your taste buds and become a staple in your kitchen.
