Portuguese Repolho Relish

Hotdog with Baron's International Kitchen Portuguese Repolho Relish

I tasted products from Baron's International Kitchen at both of the NYC Hot Sauce Fests, and a big favorite is Portuguese Repolho Relish. Therése Baron is founder, president, and head chef of Baron's International Kitchen, in Hudson Valley, NY and sent us this relish for Two Frys. Baron sources and produces the product line locally in the Hudson Valley region, using ingredients from local based farms. The gourmet sauces and condiments from Baron's International Kitchen feature ethnic recipes, both Caribbean and Portuguese.

My hotdog with Portuguese Repolho Relish, I just kept adding it to the last bite

Portuguese Repolho Relish has no heat, but features a strong flavor profile. The ingredients are: fresh green cabbage, tomatoes, onions, wine vinegar, sugar, mustard, turmeric, celery salt, cloves, cinnamon. I love relish on hot dogs, sausages and burgers, and had it on a hot dog last week. I added spicy mustard and ketchup to the dog, and topped it with a generous amount of Portuguese Repolho Relish. The relish is sweet and tangy at the same time, and with the first bite, I got a hint of the cinnamon and clove. I taste many of the ingredients from the cabbage, tomatoes, onions, vinegar and spices, and love the rich texture. The relish ingredients and spice blend are a great combination, and I kept adding more relish to my hot dog. It was so good I ate more relish on the side, and plan to eat the rest on burgers. I highly recommend this Portuguese Repolho Relish, and it is the perfect topping for poultry and meat dishes. This relish would also compliment veggie or salmon burgers. Try it!
