Bobbys Grilled Tomato Jam Recipes

TANDOORI SPICED CHICKEN BREAST WITH GRILLED TOMATO JAM AND HERBED YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Combine all spices and the oil in a medium bowl to make a paste. Rub a thin layer of the spice paste onto 1 side of each chicken breast. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and just cooked through. Remove from the grill, let rest 5 minutes, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve openface on pitas: the chicken slices, a few dollops of Tomato Jam, and a drizzle of Herbed Yogurt.
• Heat grill to high. Brush tomatoes and serrano with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes and serrano on all sides until charred. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill or on the side burners. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, serrano, balsamic vinegar, and saffron and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
• Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

BOBBY'S GRILLED TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• 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.

TOMATO JAM GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Place 2 slices of the cheese on 1 slice of bread and top with the tomato jam; sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Add the remaining 2 slices of cheese, then press the remaining slice of bread onto it.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, butter the top slice of bread. Press the sandwich with a spatula or steak weight, buttered-side down, onto the hot skillet. Press until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Butter the slice of bread that is now facing up, then flip the sandwich. Cook until golden brown and the cheese is gooey, 3 to 4 minutes total. Slice and enjoy!
• In a nonreactive medium pot, combine the tomatoes with the sugar, citrus zest and juice and cinnamon stick. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture gels on a spoon (it will look like a thin syrup), about 30 minutes. Skim any foam off the top, then pour the jam into two or three 1-cup jars. Let the jam cool to room temperature before using. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 2 cups.

TOMATO AND BACON JAM

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cool.
• Stir tomatoes, sweet onion, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Stir in crumbled bacon and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the spread is very thick, about 1 hour. Adjust salt and black pepper.
• Cool and spoon into a 1-pint glass jar with a lid; keeps refrigerated for 1 week or frozen for 2 months. If freezing, put spread into small jars and let jars thaw in refrigerator overnight before using.

GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the tomatoes, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, onto the preheated grill, and grill until the tomatoes start to sizzle and show blackened grill marks, about 4 minutes. Flip the tomatoes over and grill until the garlic turns golden brown, about 3 more minutes.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH SMOKY TOMATO JAM RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the tomato jam: In a medium saucepan, combine the cherry tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, salt, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency. Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool. The jam will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Make the grilled cheese: Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the buttered sides with ¼ teaspoon pepper each.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Spread ¼ cup (60 g) tomato jam over the bread, then layer the Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar on top and cover with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side out. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown, then use a spatula to flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the pan and let rest for 1 minute before slicing.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED CHEDDAR & TOMATO JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Using the very small holes of a box grater or other similar-size grating device, finely grate 6 ounces of the Cheddar. Place the cheese in a small bowl. Add the butter and, using the back of a fork, mash the mixture until the cheese is well incorporated into the butter.
• Using the large holes of a box grater or other similar-size grating device, grate the remaining cheese.
• To assemble: Spread the Cheddar-butter mixture on one side of each of the bread slices. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on your work surface. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of jam on each slice. Distribute the cheese, and top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches into the pan, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Turn the sandwiches, pressing each one firmly with a spatula to flatten slightly. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the undersides are well browned (watch carefully because the cheese on the outside of the bread can darken quickly). Turn the sandwiches once more, press firmly with the spatula again, cook for 1 minute, and remove from the pan. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut in half and serve.
• For sandwich maker method: Preheat the sandwich maker. Follow directions for assembly above. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
• TOMATO JAM: If you're making this in the middle of tomato season when tomatoes are at their sweetest, reduce the sugar by 1 to 2 teaspoons.
• Cooking Directions: Place all the jam ingredients in a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat. The mixture should bubble ever so slightly but not boil. Cook for about 1 hour, or until the jam has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Let cool. (You can make this up to 1 week in advance. Store in the refrigerator).
