"Adapted from Bobby Flay. One of the condiments served with Tandoori Spiced Chicken. I absolutely adore the Grilled Tomato Jam - leftovers are wonderful with toasted bread."

directions

  • Brush the tomatoes and serrano with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tomatoes and chile on all sides until you get a char. This won't take long. Remove from the grill and let it cool until you can handle them. Give the tomatoes and chile a rough chop. (I seed my pepper to cut the heat level. Remember to wear gloves if you do!).
  • Heat up the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan. Toss in the onion and cook until the onion becomes soft. Add in the chopped tomatoes, chile, balsamic and saffron. (Sub a bit of turmeric if you don't have saffron.) Cook the mixture down until it gets thick. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before you serve. After the mixture was cooled, I took an immersion blender and blended it just a bit, so it was a bit smoother but still had chunks, as a personal preference.

  1. Great condiment. Made togo with Tandoori Chicken and was great. I made mine with a pint of grape tomatoes which worked easily. May try it with BLT later.
     
  2. delicious! I/m so glad I tried this recipe I had lots of garden tomatoes in my fridge waiting to be used up, I used two jalapeno peppers in place of the serrano, it's two cold to grill outside so I used my indoor grill for the tomatoes and jalapeno peppers, I bet this will even be better with refrigeration time, thanks for sharing this recipe Misa, I made it for the Pink event!

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09) I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat. I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics. I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know. If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds! <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
