Kachumbari is a relish that's common to much of East Africa. This recipe derives from Rwanda but versions can be found from almost every country.

5 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 small onions, very thinly sliced
1 red chilli, cut lengthways into 5 strips
handful of fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly-ground black pepper
cayenne pepper to decorate

Method:

Layer the tomatoes, sliced onions, chilli and coriander in a large serving bowl. Mix the lime juice an olive oil together and toss this mixture through the salad. Season with salt and black pepper, sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the top and serve.
