The charred tomato relish involves grilling, chopping and mixing a few ingredients. I threw a few ears salted and buttered corn wrapped in foil on the grill while we were cooking the meat. A little green salad and we were ready for dinner!

Don’t skip the charred tomato relish. It was so good, we ate the rest up right out of the cup. No meat needed! This relish would also be delicious on chicken and fish as well…next time I’ll double the recipe.
