but don't do anything to the chili but make it optional, if possible.

The only caution I have with making homemade condiments is not to make too much at a time if you don't use a lot of the stuff every day.

Also maybe some fresh salsa?

Adds a zing to the slaw.

Are you asking for suggestions for other condiments, or suggestions to help fit your chili and slaw to less adventurous palates?

It's my newest obsession since I have a bumper crop this year...

Shred a few pounds of zucchini.

Chop up a few shallots or a combo of shallots and garlic.

Sweat the shallots in a bit of Olive Oil and Butter. I use about a tablespoon of each,

Add the shredded zucchini

Add salt and lots of black pepper

Cook on low until all the liquid reduces and you have a relish like consistency

I cook this in a big non stick wok pan and it can take as long as an hour to get it where I want it. You need to stir it every once in a while.

For variations....You can add chopped chilies to the shallots and garlic in the beginning for a little heat



This zucchini Butter is absolutely delicious and can be enjoyed alone or as a filling in a lasagna. My SO puts it on sandwiches and it's also a great alternative to Pesto in Pasta.
