For the Relish:
- ½ cup jarred roasted red peppers patted dry and chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup finely chopped jarred hot cherry peppers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon capers rinsed and minced

Instructions
- Make the Relish: In a large bowl, combine red peppers, 3 tablespoons olive oil, cherry peppers, parsley, capers, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
