I made this to accompany [[slow-cooked star anise beef]], and as the ingredients were odd bits and bobs from the [[fridge]]. Well it was brilliant and did not really need the beef after all.

It had an almost lemony taste, which I guess was the high amount of [[pickled]] items used.

| 1 large [[pickled]] [[chili]], chopped, with some seeds and a little [[vinegar]], ''(pictured)''
