Green Tomato And Peach Relish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 large vidalia onion, cut into thick slices
2 large firm green tomatoes
1 lime
1 firm peach, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (not too ripe peach)
1 jalapeno pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 scallions, cut into 1/4-inch slices
fresh ginger, peeled and grated (2-inch piece)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
finely chopped chives (or fresh parsley or fresh basil, or fresh cilantro)

Preparation

Prepare a hot grill or preheat the broiler.
Grill or broil the onion slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until blackened and charred.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges and remove the pulp and seeds, leaving the tomato flesh.
Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch dice and place in a small bowl.
Grate the zest from 1/2 the lime, then halve the lime.
Add the peaches to the tomatoes, along with the lime zest and juice of 1/2 lime.
Add the jalapeno, grilled onion, scallions, and ginger ; toss to mix.
Add the olive oil and salt and pepper.
Adjust the seasonings as necessary--more lime juice may be needed.
Add the fresh herb if desired.
