Whenever I have a glut of tomatoes given to me from my neighbour’s allotment, I’ll make up jarfuls of this tasty condiment. It goes well with cold meats and sausages and makes a tasty late night snack spooned over toasted ciabatta thickly spread with cream cheese. Yum!
Serving Size: 2 medium jars
Preparation & Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Shelf Life: 1 week, 3 months in freezer
Ingredients:
500g tomatoes (cherry toms work well too)
1 large chilli
1 red onion
3 cloves garlic
1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
Equipment:
Chopping board and sharp knife
Shallow oven dish
Tablespoon
Here’s What You Do:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4
Halve the tomatoes and place in a shallow oven proof dish. Thinly slice the onion and sprinkle over the tomatoes.
Now roughly chop the garlic and fresh chilli (including the seeds) and tip over the tomatoes and onion.
Sprinkle over 2 tbsp sugar then drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar then toss everything together well until it’s fully coated in the dressing.
Place on the middle oven shelf for 30 minutes. Cool then pour into a jar before storing in the fridge until you’re ready to use.
