Exotic Peach Relish with Your Choice of Protein

Plan Z Phase: This is a  Z3.5 (ZReboot 3.5) recipe. Without the raisins, this becomes a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Servings: Serves 6

This peach relish tastes a bit on the Indian-side. It’s really delightful and can be eaten with several things. I had mine with salmon but you could serve it over chicken or pork, too.  Plus, it tastes fancy enough for company.

Ingredients:

  • 6 ripe peaches, cut into bite-sized chunks. You can blanch and peel the peaches in advance if you like. I don’t bother. I like the extra fiber from the peach skin in my relish. I hardly notice it’s even there. Just cut chunks off and toss the pits.
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • ½ cup of diced red onion
  • 1 Tbl of minced ginger (ginger from a jar is fine)
  • A good grate of sea salt
  • 1 Tbl of olive oil
  • 1-½ tsp of curry powder
  • 1 Tbl of ZSweet or Swerve (these are new sweeteners you can order online)
  • 1 Tbl of lime juice

Optional:

  • 1/3 cup of raisins (optional and only for Z3.5)

Instructions:

Put all ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Stir thoroughly. Heat on medium high until bubbling. Cook for approximately 8 minutes until the peaches are soft but still hold some shape. Stir often.

Let the mixture cool down. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

As the mixture cools and is in storage, the flavors will continue to develop. It even tastes better the second day!

I serve mine cold over a hot protein. The juxtaposition is really wonderful.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
