Chutneys and Relishes
Appears in
Published 1991
The distinction among chutneys, relishes, salsas, pestos, and purées is often hard to establish because the terms are all used somewhat interchangeably.
Although in some languages the term salsa describes any sauce, it is used here to refer to a Mexican-style sauce of chopped herbs, vegetables, and sometimes fruits. Mexican salsas are usually served raw or only lightly cooked. Salsas can be made exclusively with Mexican-style ingredients, or the concept and style can be stretched and used with other ingredients for a distinctly non-Mexican result, such as Truffle Salsa.
