Served this the other day on some “stacked” oven-baked ribeye. This is a spicy tomato/onion recipe that is a cross between a jam, and a chutney. At least that is how I interrupt it. It is awesome as a topping on a good beef steak, a juicy pork chop. How about serving it with cream cheese on crackers, or toast points as an hors d'oeuvres, or appetizer. I even used it to top a big pile of garlic mash potatoes. So yummy. Happy Saturday, and Happy Dining (((Love and Hugs)))
