Roasted Tomato Ketchup Recipes

HOMEMADE TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Place all the vegetables in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with a big splash of olive oil and the ginger, garlic, chilli, basil stalks, coriander seeds and cloves. Season with a teaspoon of black pepper and a good pinch of sea salt.
• Cook gently over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened, stirring every so often. Add all the tomatoes and 350ml of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the sauce reduces by half.
• Add the basil leaves, then whiz the sauce in a food processor or with a hand blender and push it through a sieve twice, to make it smooth and shiny. Put the sauce into a clean pan and add the vinegar and the sugar.
• Place the sauce on the heat and simmer until it reduces and thickens to the consistency of tomato ketchup. At this point, correct the seasoning to taste.
• Spoon the ketchup through a sterilized funnel into sterilized bottles, then seal tightly and place in a cool dark place or the fridge until needed - it should keep for six months. Great served with steak and chips.

ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place tomato halves skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Add garlic cloves. Evenly drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Increase heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until tomatoes just begin to brown, 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat. Let tomatoes sit in the hot oven with the door closed until further caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer roasted tomatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add basil and use a wooden spoon to crush the mixture and break apart the tomatoes, leaving them a bit chunky. Remove peels, if desired. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta.

In same skillet cook pepper rings and mushrooms 3 minutes; sprinkle salt.
• Wrap bread in paper towels. Microcook on HIGH for 30 seconds. For sauce, combine mayonnaise, remaining Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Place burgers on bread; top with pepper-mushroom mixture. Pass sauce. Makes 4 servings.

HOW TO MAKE EASY ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
• Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray then add the olive oil and flavourings.
• Mix to combine.
• Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to char.
• Remove and set aside.
• Heat a splash of oil in a deep pot then add the onion and allow to soften for a few minutes.
• Add the garlic and allow to saute for a minute before adding the roasted tomatoes.
• Add the sugar (if using) then pour in the stock.
• Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• At this point you can keep the sauce rustic and chunky and freeze in ziploc bags or keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
• Alternatively, blend until as smooth as you prefer and then freeze/keep in the fridge.

HOMEMADE ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes into large chunks. Distribute the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and garlic on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and the onions are lightly caramelized. While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare your spiced vinegar. Puree the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and garlic very finely in a food processor and strain through a fine sieve into a heavy pot. Strain the spice vinegar mixture into the tomato puree (discard the whole spices), add the paprika and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture has reduced by about half and mounds in a spoon. It will thicken as it cools. Season with additional salt if needed. Spoon the mixture into sterilized jars with sterilized lids and refrigerate. It will keep in your refrigerator for about a month. (Or you may preserve it by classic canning methods.) Spiced vinegar: 1 cup apple cider or your favorite vinegar 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 stick cinnamon, crushed 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 teaspoon whole allspice 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat and let steep for 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the passata into a heavy pan with the vinegar, lemon juice, and spices. Bring to a simmer, then add the sugar. Stir until dissolved, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a thick but pourable consistency.
• Pour immediately into warm, sterilized bottles or jars (see p. 152). Seal immediately with vinegar-proof lids (see p. 22). Store in a cool, dry place and use within 4 months. For longer keeping, sterilize the filled jars using the method on p. 125. Once opened, keep in the fridge.
• VARIATION
• Rhubarb makes a delightful fruity ketchup; this is a good way to use up the tougher, tarter stalks toward the end of the rhubarb season. Slow roast 4 1/2 pounds of chopped rhubarb with 9 ounces of chopped red onions and 3 or 4 garlic cloves at 350°F for about 1 hour. Strain through a sieve and put into a heavy saucepan. Use the same quantities of sugar and vinegar as above, but leave out the lemon juice (as rhubarb is very acidic). Replace the mustard, black pepper, and cloves with a good teaspoonful each of ground cumin and coriander. Continue to cook as for tomato ketchup.
