User Comments:

1. "This relish was amazing! The combination of flavors was unexpected and delightful." - John Doe, New York

3. "The addition of fresh mint was a great touch, giving this relish a unique flavor profile." - Michael Johnson, Texas

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use green tomatoes that are ripe but still firm for best results. Avoid using overripe or soft tomatoes as they may not hold up during the roasting process.
• Adjust the amount of chilli flakes or seeds based on your preferred heat level. Start with less and add more if desired.
• For best flavor, use fresh mint from the market or grow your own. Dried mint can be used as a substitute but will alter the flavor profile slightly.
