Coriander Cumin Ketchup Recipes

MOROCCAN SPICED LAMB MEATBALLS IN CUMIN CORIANDER SPICED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Meatballs:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix lamb, Spice Mix, egg, and ketchup, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form into 1 1/4-ounce balls, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Place meatballs on a large baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
• Sauce:
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and heat, then add the onions and lightly saute until soft. Add garlic, shallots, cinnamon sticks, cumin, and coriander and saute over low heat, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato puree and bring to a boil. Add stock and season sauce with salt, ground black pepper, mint, and parsley. Simmer for about 10 minutes and remove the cinnamon sticks.
• To serve: Add the meatballs to the sauce and heat until warmed through. Pour a small amount of sauce on the plate and add 5 meatballs per serving. Garnish with toasted slivered almonds, mint, and warm pita wedges.
• In a medium bowl, mix all the spices together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

CORIANDER-CUMIN KETCHUP

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Place in a clean saucepan and stir in the coriander and cumin. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until thick, about 25 minutes. Stir in the lemon and lime juices, honey and salt. Store in an airtight container.

PLUM KETCHUP

Steps:

• Wash and halve the plums and remove the pits.
• Peel and slice the shallots.
• Roughly grind peppercorns and coriander seeds with mortar and pestle.
• Peel and thinly slice garlic cloves.
• In a large pot, heat oil and saute the shallots until translucent. Add salt.
• Add honey, red wine, pepper and coriander, bay leave and cinnamon stick, bring to a boil and add plums.
• Reduce heat and gently simmer for about 20 minutes until ketchup gets a jam-like consistency.
• Remove bay leave and cinnamon stick.
• Add horseradish and purée in a blender or with an immersion blender.
• Fill hot into prepared canning jars and store in a cool place for up to 3 months.

SPICY TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Heat broiler. In a large bowl, toss onions with olive oil to coat. Place onions on a baking sheet and broil until blackened, about 10 to 12 minutes to a side.
• In a small iron skillet over medium heat, toast coriander, cumin and mustard seeds until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Grind toasted spices in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
• In a deep, heavy, nonreactive pot, combine onions, ground coriander, cumin and mustard and remaining ingredients. Simmer over medium-low heat about 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to break up tomatoes and to keep ketchup from sticking. Ketchup should reduce by a third. Let cool slightly.
• In a food processor or blender, puree ketchup in batches. Transfer to jars. Let cool completely, then refrigerate. Ketchup will keep for as long as 3 months in refrigerator, or frozen for as long as 6 months.
