2. Chop the tomatoes using a food process or thermomix until at desired consistency. Less time for chunky relish and smaller for a finer relish.
For thermomix - For a chutney consistency as pictured above: divide the peeled tomatoes in to two batches. Process each batch on turbo for 2 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then process again for another 2 seconds on turbo.
Transfer to a large saucepan.
