SPICED TOMATO KETCHUP



Spiced Tomato Ketchup image

This sauce is a tomato jam that tastes more like a richly spiced ketchup. A long simmer is important. This is inspired by a recipe for a delicious tomato jam in the chef Matthew Kenney's cookbook, "Matthew Kenney's Mediterranean Cooking." My version is not as sweet as his; I decided to call it ketchup rather than jam because to me, it tastes like a richly spiced ketchup, with sweet and sour flavors and a little kick from the cayenne. A long simmer is important for cooking the sauce to the right consistency and for concentrating the flavors. After that, I put the ketchup through a food mill to achieve smoother texture, but that step is optional. I salt toward the end of cooking because the mix will reduce quite a lot and it's too easy to oversalt if you salt before that happens. However, be sure to use enough salt to balance out the sweetness and bring out the spice.

Time 2h20m

Yield Makes 1 2/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 pounds tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced or pulsed to a coarse purée in a food processor
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 allspice berries, ground (1/2 teaspoon)
2 cloves, ground
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon mild honey, such as clover

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil over low heat in a heavy-bottom saucepan. Add ginger and garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add vinegar, turn up the heat and reduce volume by half, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and stir until it has dissolved in the vinegar. Add tomatoes and spices (but not salt), bring to a simmer, reduce heat to very low, cover partly and simmer slowly until mix has reduced to a thick purée and there is little liquid in the pan, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer until all the liquid has cooked off, about 15 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in honey. Continue to simmer, stirring, until mix is shiny, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Taste and adjust salt. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate if not using right away. Serve at room temperature as an accompaniment to fish, chicken, meat or vegetables; spread it on bread; or use as a sandwich condiment.
  • Optional step: Before or after the mix cools, put through the fine blade of a food mill.

Beer-Battered Squash With Ketchup Chip Salt And Spiced Maple Syrup Recipe by Tasty image

Provided by SpongeTowels

Categories     Sides

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 acorn squash
1 butternut squash
2 cups ketchup chips
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons fresh chives
vegetable oil
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup beer, chilled
1 egg

Steps:

  • Slice the acorn squash in half horizontally, then scoop out all of the seeds. Slice into ⅛-inch pieces and set aside. For the butternut squash, peel away the outer skin well and slice into similar sized slices.
  • For the ketchup chip salt, transfer the chips to a resealable plastic bag then crush them into fine pieces (use your hands, a rolling pin, or a kitchen mallet). Place the chips in a bowl, then mix in the salt. In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup and chili flakes. Set both the chip salt and spiced maple aside.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven bring your oil up to 350⁰F. While the oil heats, make your beer batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake flour, salt, and baking powder. Then pour in the cold beer, followed by the egg. Whisk well to incorporate.
  • When the oil has reached its temperature, begin coating the slices of squash in the batter, making sure to shake off any excess, before carefully placing in the oil. Deep-fry the squash for 2 to 3 minutes, being mindful not to overcrowd the pot (this will drop the temperature), then transfer to a paper towel lined sheet tray to absorb any extra oil. Season immediately with a liberal sprinkling of the ketchup chip salt. Continue frying in batches until all of the squash is cooked.
  • To serve, place the fried squash in a paper-towel lined serving basket. Sprinkle on some extra chip salt if desired, and garnish with finely sliced chives. Serve with the spiced maple syrup for dipping and enjoy!
