Vietnamese Peach Relish

By LaLaCooks

Alice Waters likes eating savory peach relishes with fish. Make sure to use peaches that are firm enough to hold their shape once diced.

Ingredients

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 serrano chile or jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 firm, ripe medium peaches, peeled and finely diced
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped mint

Preparation

Step 1

In a mortar (or using a mini food processor), pound the garlic and chile with the brown sugar until a paste forms. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of water. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the peaches, cilantro and mint.

Serve With
Grilled halibut or shrimp.
