We’ve been doing a lot of cooking in the oven lately — partly because things have been pretty busy here, and partly because the oven does a really good job of developing deep caramelized flavours with very little effort. This is one of the savoury condiments that came out of the oven last week.
Last week, I came across some really nice looking tomatillos and decided it was time for something a little tart and savoury to go on my sandwiches. A little bit of time chopping and a little time in the oven while I was doing some writing and recipe development, and we had a tasty all-purpose savoury relish. As it turns out, this relish also makes a really tasty garnish atop soup!
