Categories     condiments, side dish

Time 4h30m

Yield About 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 large onions, cut in 1/2-inch-thick round slices
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 cup red-wine vinegar
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons honey
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1/4 cup capers with their brine
1/4 cup Frank's or Durkee's hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Kosher salt, to taste
3 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes
2 12-ounce cans tomato paste

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. In a large bowl, toss onions with olive oil to coat. Place onions on a baking sheet and broil until blackened, about 10 to 12 minutes to a side.
  • In a small iron skillet over medium heat, toast coriander, cumin and mustard seeds until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Grind toasted spices in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  • In a deep, heavy, nonreactive pot, combine onions, ground coriander, cumin and mustard and remaining ingredients. Simmer over medium-low heat about 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to break up tomatoes and to keep ketchup from sticking. Ketchup should reduce by a third. Let cool slightly.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree ketchup in batches. Transfer to jars. Let cool completely, then refrigerate. Ketchup will keep for as long as 3 months in refrigerator, or frozen for as long as 6 months.

CRISPY GARLIC POTATO SKINS WITH SPICY ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP



Crispy Garlic Potato Skins with Spicy Roasted Tomato Ketchup image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h3m

Yield about 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 canned chipotle chiles en adobo with the sauce that clings to them, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch ground clove
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • To make the ketchup: Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat. Arrange the tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil the tomatoes, turning occasionally, until blackened all over. Set aside to cool slightly. Core and roughly chop the tomatoes with their skins.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotles, cinnamon, allspice, and clove and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the liquid is slightly syrupy. Add the chopped tomatoes and salt and season with pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Pass the ketchup through a food mill, discard the seeds and skins. Return the ketchup to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until very thick, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight for the flavors to come together.
  • To make the potato skins: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Bake the potatoes on the rack until tender, about 55 minutes. Set the potatoes aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the garlic cloves and olive oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the garlic sizzles, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook until the garlic is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Remove the garlic and reserve.
  • Raise the oven to 500 degrees F. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of the flesh intact. Reserve the potato flesh for other recipes (See Cook's Note.)
  • Cut the potato halves in half lengthwise and transfer them to a baking sheet. Pour the garlic oil over the potato skins and turn them until completely coated. Arrange the potato skins skin-side down and bake until crispy, turning once, about 15 minutes.
  • Season skins with salt, to taste. Transfer the skins to a serving platter and serve with the ketchup. For an extra garlicky punch, chop up the reserved garlic and sprinkle it over the skins.
  • Cook's Note: Don't throw away that leftover potato flesh! Use it as thickener for soups or stews, make crispy potato cakes, or whip up a batch of impromptu croquettes.

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.

SPICY HOMEMADE KETCHUP



Spicy Homemade Ketchup image

A more complex version of ketchup that will make your kitchen smell great and has a bit of a kick. I made this when I had some extra tomato juice and wanted to figure out a way to use it. I'm sure you could substitute different peppers depending on what is on hand but the shishito and roasted Anaheim added a wonderful flavor. Adjust chilies to your heat preference. These amounts make it spicy but not hot. I used the celery heart with two stalks because that is what was left.

Provided by Victory Garden

Time 2h50m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Anaheim chile pepper
6 cups tomato juice, or more to taste
5 peppers shishito peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers
4 peppers serrano peppers
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place Anaheim pepper onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook, turning occasionally, under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened pepper into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skin.
  • Heat tomato sauce in a pot until simmering.
  • Meanwhile, remove seeds from Anaheim pepper, shishito peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Chop and place in a bowl. Chop serrano peppers, leaving seeds, and add to the bowl.
  • Add peppers to the simmering tomato juice, along with onion and celery. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and salt. Simmer for 1 more hour, or until desired thickness. Puree ketchup with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Pour into sterilized jars or squeeze bottles.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripened tomatoes contain more natural sugars, resulting in a sweeter ketchup with a richer flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the ketchup a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a variety of spices: Experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile for your ketchup. Common spices used in ketchup include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt.
  • Simmer the ketchup: Simmering the ketchup allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more complex and flavorful sauce.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you achieve a smooth and consistent ketchup texture.
  • Strain the ketchup: Straining the ketchup removes any seeds or skin that may have made it into the sauce, resulting in a smoother and more refined final product.
  • Can or bottle the ketchup: Canning or bottling the ketchup will help preserve it for longer storage.

Conclusion:

Making spicy tomato ketchup at home is a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to customize the flavor and heat level to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and versatile condiment that will elevate your favorite dishes.
