Spicy Tomato Relish

Jump to Recipe

I really love to make burgers! I make one most every week for my family. I love how versatile they are. You can change up the meats, the cheeses, the toppings, and the sauces – it’s the true definition of “the possibilities are endless”. The sauces are maybe the most fun when it comes to burger creations. You can do so much with a great sauce when it comes to a burger. My latest creation is a Spicy Tomato Relish. My son called it “homemade ketchup only WAAAAAAAY better!”

Spicy Tomato Relish

You are going to get a little worried when you make this relish. You will think it’s too watery and never going to come together as a sauce. Just have the faith – let it boil and then let it simmer. You will get this delicious relish to come together so beautifully your family will beg for it over and over.

Let me be clear – this is a SPICY relish – you are going to get a real kick of heat from this sauce. When I put it on the burger I added a avocado mayo & Italian dressing combo to help mellow it out, along with a Monterey Jack cheese. A simple beef burger patty (ground beef, egg, parsley, garlic powder, minced onion, salt, and red pepper flakes.)

    This looks amazing, Estelle! I wonder if you could even use it as a marinade or even as the sauce for a spicy beef barbecue or something like that. Yum!
