 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2      pounds        green tomatoes
    1/2  cup           walnuts -- toasted and chopped
  1      teaspoon      minced garlic
    1/2  cup           olive oil
  3      tablespoons   white-wine vinegar -- or to taste 1/2
                       -- cup packed fresh
                       flat-leafed parsley leaves -- washed well,
                       spun -- dry, and chopped
  1      pinch         dried hot red pepper flakes -- if desired

Using a long handled fork char tomatoes over an open flame, turning
them, until skins are blackened, 2 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, broil
tomatoes on a rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, turning,
until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.) Transfer
tomatoes to a plate and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel
and core tomatoes and chop coarse. In a bowl toss tomatoes with
remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Let relish
stand, covered, at room temperature 3 hours to develop flavors. Relish
may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Serve relish at room
temperature.

Yield: about 3 cups
