Fresh Tomato Relish

2 large ripe tomatoes

4 to 6 large basil leaves, shredded

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 clove garlic, peeled and minced

1-1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and ground black pepper

With a sharp knife, make a small "X" on the top of each tomato.

Blanch tomatoes in enough boiling water to cover, for about 10 seconds; remove tomatoes from water with slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, peel, core, and halve. Discard tomato skins.

Gently squeeze tomato halves to remove seeds. Discard seeds. Coarsely chop tomatoes.

In a bowl, mix tomatoes with remaining ingredients.

Relish can be used as a side dish or as a topping for bruschetta, pasta, fish, pizza, or whatever you wish.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
