Relish

Three types of relishes are used here to accompany nshima (in the top right), a cornmeal product in African cuisine.

A relish (a pickle-based condiment) is a cooked and pickled culinary dish made of chopped vegetables, fruits or herbs, typically used as a condiment to enhance a staple.[1] Examples are chutneys and the North American relish, a pickled cucumber jam eaten with hot dogs.[2][3] In North America, the word "relish" is frequently used to describe a single variety of finely chopped pickled cucumber relish, such as pickle, dill and sweet relishes.

Kyopolou (Кьопоолу), a relish from the Balkans made from red bell peppers, eggplant and garlic.

Relish generally consists of discernible vegetable or fruit pieces in a sauce, although the sauce is subordinate in character to the vegetable or fruit pieces.[4][5] Herbs may also be used, and some relishes, such as chermoula, are prepared entirely using herbs and spices.[6] Relish can consist of a single type or a combination of vegetables and fruit, which may be coarsely or finely chopped; its texture will vary depending on the slicing style used for these solid ingredients,[1] but generally a relish is not as smooth as a sauce-type condiment such as ketchup. Relish typically has a strong flavor that complements or adds to the primary food item with which it is served.[1][7]
