When my husband cooks meat, he sometimes likes to prepare this tomato chili relish to go with the meat. He especially likes it with beef. It has a slight kick to it but it isn’t too strong for those who don’t like hot foods. I also enjoy it with chicken and pork.

3. Dice the remaining tomatoes and add to the saucepan.
