We love the oomph that fish sauce adds to most things, but it was a bit much in this recipe. I cut the fish sauce to just 1 1/2 tablespoons and upped the brown sugar to taste. It was really good that first day, but found it even better the next day when the flavors had time to meld and settle. We had it with grilled snapper the first time, and with a grilled chicken thigh the next. The relish was delicious with both!

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
