Spicy asian tomato relish

  • January 21, 2018January 21, 2018
  • by Jono

This is my go-to chunky tomato sauce whenever I need something delicious in a hurry – This recipe is infinitely adaptable, and variations on the theme end up in a lot of our dishes.

Use fresh tomatoes if you can – preferably super red ripe ones that are on the verge of going off – but if your tomatoes aren’t as ripe as you had hoped, you can help them along with a splash of balsamic vinegar and an extra teaspoon of sugar.

Spicy asian tomato relish

This base recipe can be adapted in any number of ways - leave out the chilli, throw in basil instead of miso, chuck in curry powder for an indian theme, use some lemongrass and coconut milk for a thai styled relish, etc etc. This also makes a great base for baked dishes like ratatouille or lasagna.

Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • oil, for frying
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 red chilli, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cm fresh ginger, mashed
  • 2 tbsp miso
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 3-4 very ripe tomatoes, diced.
  • A splash Balsamic vinegar (optional) Use if you are using not-quite-ripe tomatoes

Instructions

  • Fry the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger until the onion is soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the miso and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes start breaking down and thickening - about 15 minutes. If your tomatoes aren't super ripe and need a little help, add a splash of balsamic and an extra teaspoon of sugar.
  • This recipe can be adapted a million ways - you can add white wine, herbs, spices, thicken with cornstarch, dilute with coconut milk, the sky's the limit. 
    Delicious just like that on pasta with some grated parmesan.
