This is called Christmas Relish because it goes so well with roasted meat, especially if you are serving it cold the next day, perhaps as part of a lunch platter.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons boiling water
2 tablespoons tamarind pulp
250 g carrots, finely shredded
250 g red cabbage, finely shredded
150 g ginger, chopped into matchsticks
4 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 hot chili peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fish sauce
150 ml rice vinegar
150 ml water
Directions:
1. Pour the boiling water over the tamarind pulp.
2. Leave for a few minutes and then strain it through a fine sieve.
3. Discard the pulp and keep the tamarind water.
4. Put the carrots, cabbage and ginger in a bowl with half the salt and the tamarind water and leave overnight.
5. Drain off the liquid and add the sugar, chillies, rest of the salt, fish sauce, vinegar and the fresh water.
6. Mix thoroughly.
7. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week, turning the jar over once a day.
