Mrs Allen started making this in Ballymaloe over 30 years ago , it is one of the most handy recipes to have in your repetoire; not only is it good in burgers and all kinds of sandwiches,but it is wonderful with cold sliced meats , smoked fish, and transforms a humble hard boiled egg and a chunk of cheddar into a feast.It is a pickle so even though it will lose it’s vibrant green colour, it will keep for weeks and weeks and weeks…
