lazy sundays

I had an awesomely relaxing, do-nothing-at-all weekend -- definitely what I've been needing.  Feeling too lazy (and too cheap) to grab brunch on Sunday, so I threw together a quick and easy breakfast with what we had on hand. 

Soft scrambled eggs with herb goat cheese and roasted red pepper relish, arugula salad and whole wheat sourdough toast.  These flavors came together perfectly and really hit the spot!

Recipe --

Roasted Red Pepper Relish (makes about 2 cups)

3 tbl olive oil

2 14 oz jars roasted red peppers, rinsed, drained, chopped

1 1/2 cups chopped onions

3 tsp finely chopped garlic

4 tbl cider vinegar

3 tbl sugar

1/4 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Heat oil in a large saute pan over med-high heat.  Add peppers and saute 2-3 minutes.  Next add onions and garlic and cook until onions are tender, stirring frequently (about 5 min).

Mix vinegar, sugar, mustard and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until sugar dissolves .  Add vinegar mixture to the saute pan with peppers and season with salt + pepper.  Continue cooking relish until all the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.  Cool at room temp.  And for a "smoother" consistency, pulse in a food processor.

This relish is also great as a sandwich spread and could even work as a bruschetta topping!
