Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons sugar

GRILLED FENNEL AND RED ONIONS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL



Grilled Fennel and Red Onions with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small fennel bulbs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 small red onions (about 1/2 pound)
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
10 sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained and cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
1 pound pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Light the grill or make a charcoal fire. Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.
  • Remove and discard the green stems and the fronds from the fennel. Remove any blemished or tough layers from the fennel bulb but do not trim a thin slice from the base (the base will help keep wedges intact). Slice the bulb crosswise from top to bottom into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • Peel and quarter the onions, making both cuts through the top and bottom ends on the onions. Brush the fennel wedges and red onion quarters with 2 tablespoons oil. Generously season the vegetables with salt and pepper.
  • Use a stiff wire brush to scrape the hot grill clean. Grill the fennel and onions, carefully turning them once, until the vegetables are marked by dark stripes and are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Briefly cool the grilled vegetables. Cut the fennel and onions into thin strips. In a large bowl, toss the grilled vegetables with the sun-dried tomatoes as well as the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and the basil. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust seasonings if necessary. The vegetables can be covered and set aside for up to 1 hour, if desired.
  • Cook and drain the pasta. Toss the hot pasta with the grilled vegetables. Mix well and transfer portions to warm pasta bowls. Serve immediately with grated cheese passed separately.

CROSTINI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO JAM

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

One 8-ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • For the sun-dried tomato jam:
  • Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the crostini:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.
  • Place the soft goat cheese in a small bowl. Stir in the thyme.
  • To assemble:
  • Spread the crostini with sun-dried tomato jam and top with the goat cheese and herb mixture. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil.
  • If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute 1 cup of chopped fresh tomatoes.
  • Use a sharp knife to finely chop the onion. This will help the onion to caramelize evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onion. If the pan is too crowded, the onion will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Cook the onion over medium heat until it is golden brown and slightly crispy. This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and thyme to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened.
  • Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a jar. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.

Conclusion:

Sun-dried tomato onion jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on crackers or bread, used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or meat, or added to pasta or rice dishes. It is also a great way to add flavor to sandwiches and wraps. With its sweet and savory flavor, sun-dried tomato onion jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
