Step 1
Slice the courgettes about ¼ cm thick and place in a large, shallow dish along with the onions and salt, and mix thoroughly. -
Step 2
Add cold water to cover and mix again to dissolve the salt. Leave for one hour and drain, and then dry thoroughly between tea towels or in a salad spinner. This whole process gets the excess juices out of the veg and stops the relish being too 'wet'. -
Step 3
Put the remaining ingredients in a pan and simmer for 3 minutes. Cool a little then add to the courgette/onion mix and stir. Transfer to sterile jars and leave in a fridge for at least one day before using.
