KACHUMBARI (TOMATO AND ONION RELISH)

Kachumbari (Tomato and Onion Relish) image

In his book, "Koshersoul," the food historian Michael W. Twitty explores the varied cuisines of the global Jewish diaspora. Kachumbari, the Swahili word that means "pickle," can be traced to Kenya and other East African countries where the tomato and onion mix is served as a salad or relish. This dish exemplifies a tradition of hospitality: Appetizers or snacks - salatim in Israel, kemia in North Africa and mezze in the Middle East - are offered to house guests. After tasting the small plates, the visitors then decide if they would like to stay and enjoy the main meal. This deeply flavored kachumbari can be served with nearly any fish or other protein-based dish, and can also be offered alongside plantains, or with hummus and pita.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 yellow onions
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Build a campfire or prepare a charcoal grill and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals.
Nestle onions into the hot goals and pile coals up on the sides and on top. Roast until blackened and tender, about 15 minutes. Turn onions, rebury them, and cook until the onions begin to leak juice, another 10 to 15 minutes. A bamboo skewer inserted into the center should easily slide in. Place onions in a bowl, cover and allow to cool.
Place red pepper on the coals; cook, turning often, until charred, about 10 minutes.
Peel the blackened skin off the onions and scrape the charred black bits off the red pepper. Finely chop onions and red pepper. Combine in a bowl with parsley, and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Toss sherry vinegar and olive oil in with relish, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
