Best Roasted Tomato Ketchup Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until almost smoking, and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree, cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and honey, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 20 minutes. May be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.

CRISPY GARLIC POTATO SKINS WITH SPICY ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

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.

ROASTED TOMATO KETCHUP

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.

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.

• Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree and remaining ingredients and continue cooking, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick.
• To prepare the burgers: Shape the meat firmly into 4 round uniform patties about 1 1/2-inches thick. Brush both sides of the burgers lightly with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Cook the burgers until done to your preference, 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare etc.
