Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jar Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini (Ensure to remove stems before use.)
- 1 jar Mezzetta Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers (Substitute with more peperoncini for less heat.)
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper (Substitute with yellow bell pepper or omit if not available.)
- 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper (Can be replaced with more red bell pepper.)
- 1 medium White Onion (Yellow onion can be used for a milder taste.)
- 2 cloves Fresh Garlic (Skip if garlic-free is needed or replace with garlic powder.)
- 1/4 cup Peperoncini Juice (Vinegar can be used as a substitute.)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (Use less from store-bought juice due to higher acidity.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (Adjust according to heat preference or omit entirely.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (Substitute with cilantro if desired.)
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Any neutral oil can work as a substitute.)
- to taste Salt and Black Pepper (Adjust according to personal taste.)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Pepperoncini Relish. Rinse and remove stems from the Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini and Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers. Dice the red and yellow bell peppers, white onion, and garlic.
- In a food processor, combine the prepared peperoncini, jalapenos, red and yellow bell peppers, white onion, and garlic. Pulse the mixture until everything is finely chopped, about 15-20 seconds.
- Transfer the chopped pepper mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir in the peperoncini juice, fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set the saucepan over medium heat and warm for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften.
- Once the vegetables are soft, remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully drain any excess liquid to prevent your relish from becoming too watery. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, stir in the freshly chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer your finished Pepperoncini Relish to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
