Description
This spicy and savory tomato marmalade is a rich condiment that elevates burgers, grilled meats, or fish with its concentrated flavors of sweet tomatoes, tangy balsamic vinegar, and a kick of chili.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pint ripe grape tomatoes, halved and minced
- 1/2 Vidalia (sweet onion), thinly sliced and minced
- 1 garlic clove (whole, remove after cooking)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
- Dried chili, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and whole garlic clove. Sweat the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced tomatoes to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook down the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their juices, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the dried chili to your preferred level of heat and the balsamic vinegar. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a marmalade consistency.
- Remove the garlic clove before serving. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the marmalade slightly using an immersion blender.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the marmalade slightly after cooking. Adjust the amount of chili to control the heat level. This marmalade pairs well with burgers, grilled fish, or meats. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
