Best Tomato Compote Recipes

SLOW-COOKER TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, honey, vinegar, herbs and red-pepper flakes (if using), and stir to combine. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, sweet and very soft, and some have burst. Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

ROASTED ONION AND CHERRY-TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a 12-by-14-inch roasting pan on center rack. Rub olive oil over onions and garlic, and place in pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until onions begin to brown, 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the pan gets too dry and onions begin to stick, add a few tablespoons of water. Lower heat to 400 degrees. Add raisins, stir, and cook 8 minutes more. Add tomatoes and brown sugar; cook until tomatoes begin to split, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to top of stove over medium-high heat. Add Marsala, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any cooked-on bits. Stir until Marsala has been fully incorporated. Serve the vegetables warm.

PAN-FRIED DOVER SOLE WITH WARM TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, then sizzle the shallots for 2 mins until starting to soften. Season with salt, pepper and the sugar. Add the tomatoes, then cook for 2-3 mins over a high heat until they start to release their juice. Drizzle over the vinegar, bubble for a few mins, turn off the heat, then scatter over the coriander. Transfer to a plate.
• Now start the fish. With a large chef's knife, cut off the head just past the gill (you can use this for stock). Using a pair of kitchen scissors, trim away the frills from either side of the fish. Squeeze out any roe from the cavity then pick out and wash away any blood. Pat dry with kitchen paper. You will now have a trimmed slipper-shaped fish ready to be pan-fried.
• In a large, shallow dish mix the flour with cayenne pepper and season with salt. Dip each fish in the seasoned flour to completely coat, then pat off the excess. Set the fish aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan until hot. Place the floured fish in the pan, skinned side down. Shake the pan a little, then cook the fish, undisturbed, for about 4 mins until golden brown.
• Using a fish slice, carefully turn the fish over, then continue to cook on the underside for 2-3 mins until it has shrunk and is starting to come away from the bone. Add the pieces of butter to the outside of the pan and let them sizzle into the oil.
• Fry the fish for another 2-3 mins, constantly spooning the buttery oil over it to finish the cooking and keep it moist.
• Squeeze the lemon half through your fingers over the fish and cook for about 30 secs longer. Remove from the heat, then rest the fish in the pan for 2 mins.
• To remove the bones, sit the fish on a board, skinned side up. Run a fine fish slice or filleting knife down the natural line in the centre of the fish. Push the fillets away from bone, but leave them attached to the outside of the fish. Working from the head end of the fish, slowly pull the main skeleton out, easing the fillets aside as the bone comes loose. Carefully push the fillets back to reform so it resembles the whole fish again.
• Serve on a large plate with the tomatoes and some buttered new potatoes.

SWEET CORN FRITTATA WITH CHERRY TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote:
• Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and cook until the wine is reduced by about half. Add the basil, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and become fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside the tomatoes in a bowl.
• Make the frittata:
• Position an oven rack about 3 inches from the top and preheat the broiler.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking fat. Add the diced white part of the scallions and the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato softens, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook for about 2 minutes longer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, red pepper flakes, and half the feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggie mixture in the skillet and top with the remainder of the cheese. Stir in the potato mixture and the scallion greens.
• Wipe out the skillet and, over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat. Cook the frittata, lifting up the cooked egg around the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, giving the pan a shake now and again, until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still slightly jiggly, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the frittata to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (keep a close eye on the frittata, as it can easily burn). Serve topped with the tomato compote.

Add the onion and scallions and sweat for several minutes until the onion is translucent, stirring occasionally so the scallions don't burn.

Then chop with the garlic and thyme, until garlic and thyme are minced. Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, and thyme to the saucepan. Stir to combine, adjust heat to a simmer, and let reduce until thick. Add a pinch of sugar, to taste.

TOMATO COMPOTE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. You will need an ovenproof skillet On medium heat, coat the skillet with a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, being careful not to let it burn. Turn off the heat. Add the thyme and season, to taste, with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper. Add the tomatoes.
