Ingredients

2 medium heads garlic, left whole
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces dried ancho chiles*, stems, seeds, and veins
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mild honey

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut off and discard tops of garlic heads to expose cloves and rub each head with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Wrap heads together in foil and bake in middle of oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Cool to warm.
While garlic is roasting, toast chiles in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Soak chiles in hot water until softened, about 20 minutes, then drain.
Squeeze garlic from skins into a food processor and purée with chiles, vinegar, honey, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt to taste. Force purée through a sieve into a bowl.

TOMATO CHILE JAM

If ketchup put on $300 Japanese cult-brand jeans, this is what it would taste like: global, hip, sexy. This formula - infinitely adaptable, good with cheese, with fish, with spring rolls, as a chutney, as a sambal - began with the New Zealand chef Peter Gordon and was adapted by Darina Allen, the Irish cooking teacher. It appears in her book "Forgotten Skills of Cooking," the first book anyone interested in craft cooking should read.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

28-ounce can plum tomatoes, diced (look for best quality)
3 to 6 fresh red chile peppers
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
Fresh ginger, a 3-inch piece, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup vinegar (like rice, wine or cider)
1 cup sugar

Steps:

Open the can of tomatoes and drain the liquid into a food processor or blender. Reserve the tomatoes.
Slice 3 to 6 fresh red chile peppers (depending on their heat) and add to the blender or processor with garlic, ginger and fish sauce. Blend until smooth.
Pour into a pan, add the diced tomatoes and vinegar and sugar. Simmer until thick and syrupy, about an hour. Natural pectin in the tomatoes gives the sauce its jammy consistency.
When cool, transfer to containers or jars, and keep refrigerated.
