really nice flavor, i use it on chicken, in sandwiches as a spread, in sauces and just as a chutney. extremely easy to make, i found that i needed to cook it on the stove top for an hour to achieve that nice golden color, thick texture, and deep flavor.
Lemon-Zucchini Relish

This unusual relish is reminiscent of Middle Eastern condiments, particularly those made with preserved lemon. While it will go well with roasted chicken or any grilled entrée, you can also use it as a spread on sandwiches.
