Ingredients

• Olive oil, 1 teaspoon(s)
• Red onion, 1 medium, diced
• Garlic, 1 clove(s), crushed
• Green capsicum, 1 capsicum(s), diced
• Pepper, any type, ground, 1 pinch(es)
• Sea salt, 1 pinch(s)
• Tomato, 2 large, diced
• Lime zest, 1 teaspoon(s)
• Lime juice, 1 juice of 1 lime
• Coriander, ½ cup(s)
• Red chilli, ½ chilli(s), finely chopped

Method

1. Heat the oil in a medium-sized non-stick fry pan. Add the onion, garlic, capsicum and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the capsicum has softened. You can add half a cup of water to help cook the vegetables if needed.
2. Take the pan off the heat and add the diced tomatoes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes – there will be enough heat in the pan to warm the tomatoes through.
3. Once the mixture has cooled, add in the lime juice, zest, fresh coriander and chilli.

*One serve is approx 2 tablespoons.
