Healthy diabetes recipes for the whole family to enjoy!


  • Homemade sun-dried tomatoes are better as they are more tender and more flavorsome for this diabetes recipe.  This relish can be served on small pieces of French bread or whole meal toasts.

Sun-dried Tomatoes and Pepper Relish (Serves 4)

Ingredients

  • 3 yellow peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4-5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 400 g ripe tomatoes, diced (or 400g can chopped tomatoes)
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 8-10 marinated sun-dried tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or to taste
  • 2-3 tsp capers, rinsed and drained
  • fresh chopped parsley, to garnish

Preparation

  1. Brown the peppers in the olive oil for about 7 minutes, long enough to lightly brown them without them turning too soft.
     
  2. Add half the garlic, the diced tomatoes and pepper, and cook over high heat until the tomatoes reduce to a thick paste.
     
  3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, capers, and remaining garlic, and cool to room temperature to serve.  Garnish with fresh parsley if liked.  Serve this relish on small pieces of French bread or whole meal toasts, if you like.
