Miami Braai Relish is a South African tomato-and-onion relish made by Miami Canners. It's a savory, mildly seasoned sauce made primarily from diced tomatoes, onions, herbs, and spices, cooked until it reaches a thick, spoonable consistency.
It's commonly used in several ways:
- As a topping for pap (maize porridge), especially alongside grilled meats.
- With a braai (South African barbecue), served with boerewors, steak, chops, or chicken.
- As a cooking ingredient, stirred into stews, casseroles, curries, or mince to add tomato flavor and depth.
- On sandwiches or burgers as a savory relish.
The flavor is:
- Tomato-forward
- Slightly sweet
- Mildly tangy
- Herbaceous with gentle spice (it's generally not hot).
