This stuff disappears quickly. So good. Photo when I get a chance...
1kg or more of ripe tomatoes - end bit removed, diced
1 onion sliced
5 cloves garlic roughly chopped
Sprinkling of Garam Marsala or similar
1tbs chilli flakes (or 2 fresh diced chilli)
2tbs raw sugar
Red wine vinegar
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 180C.
Wet a baking tray with a little water and line with some baking paper. It helps it stick in place. Mix the tomato, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, a sprinkling each of vegetable oil, raw sugar, red wine vinegar and Garam Masala. Roast for about 45 minutes or until you start to get some good colour, stirring along the way.
Pour the roasted mess into a suitable sized saucepan, add in the remaining sugar and about another 2 tbs of red wine vinegar. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes or until it has reduced down to a jam like consistency. You should be able to run a spoon through it and it wont immediately back fill. Check for seasoning. Doesn't taste like much? Add some more salt. Not sweet enough? Add more sugar. Not enough zing? Splash in some more vinegar.
Sling into jars and refrigerate. Use on sandwiches, eggs, with steak or corn meat. Not much effort, little bit of time, loads of flavour.
