Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jar Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini (remove stems before use)
- 1 jar Mezzetta Sliced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers (use as is for best results)
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper (seed and chop roughly)
- 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper (seed and chop roughly)
- 1 medium White Onion (roughly chop or substitute with yellow onion)
- 2 cloves Garlic (use fresh, halved)
- 1/4 cup Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini Juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (fresh is recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (adjust to fit your heat preference)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chop finely)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin is best)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to personal preference)

Instructions
- Start by removing the stems from the Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini and placing them into a food processor along with the sliced jalapeños, roughly chopped red and yellow bell peppers, roughly chopped white onion, and halved garlic. Pulse the mixture until finely chopped.
- Transfer the finely chopped mixture into a small saucepan and add the Mezzetta Golden Greek Peperoncini juice, fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
- Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to drain excess liquid. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled relish with freshly chopped parsley, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Stir everything together gently.
- Transfer the Pepperoncini Relish into an airtight container, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control heat level.
- This relish pairs well with sandwiches and grilled meats.
- Store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
