  2. Brush 2 large red bell peppers and 2 large green bell peppers with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Arrange peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until peppers are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and slice the peppers into ½-inch strips.
  7. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Add 1 pint (2 cups) of plum tomatoes, halved or quartered if large, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  9. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tomatoes soften and release their juices.
  10. Add the sliced roasted peppers to the skillet.
  11. Sauté for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  12. Stir in ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar.
  13. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  14. Let the relish cool completely before serving. Enjoy at room temperature!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
