Ingredients
1 pound green tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons freshly grated or well-drained prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Rinse the green tomatoes and remove the cores. Roughly chop them into chunks about 1 inch in size.
Working in batches if needed, pulse the chopped green tomatoes in a food processor until they reach a coarse, chunky consistency—not completely smooth. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and let drain for 10 to 15 minutes, pressing gently to remove excess liquid.
If using prepared horseradish, drain it thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing to remove excess liquid and preserve its potency.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tomatoes, horseradish, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring constantly, emulsifying the mixture until it reaches a smooth, cohesive relish consistency.
Season with sea salt and taste, adjusting salt and horseradish intensity as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
