The variety of cuisine, sauces, flavors, and styles found in Texas food is impressive for anyone who would be willing to experience it. Generally, there are several creole, southwestern, and Mexican influenced flavors in Texas foods and Texas recipes. Chefs such as Molly McCook, Dean Fearing, and Jon Bonnell have made names for themselves by adding and experimenting with this southern style. Coming from Mexican influences, sauces and relishes have become popular in the south. One in particular, is Chile Relish.
Chile relish can do a great job at accenting the flavor of several dishes, while adding a sweet taste accompanied by the after-taste of red peppers. As a southwestern favorite, this relish goes great with several Texas foods. This additive is created by slowly caramelizing several red bell peppers with cane sugar. Once the mixture becomes a thick syrup, it can then be infused with dried Chile peppers to add more flavor. Some relishes are even finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar to add acidity.
Combining the flavors mentioned above gives this relish the chance to work with several Texas foods, as well as others. It can be glazed on beef, pork, lamb or even wild game. Chile relish goes great with seafood such as shrimp, scallops and shrimp, particularly when grilled. It can be drizzled over Texas foods which offer some heat, as this condiment offers a very sweet taste to balance out the heat of some dishes.
