ingredients

Simon Howie Smoked Bacon

Roll

Butter

 

For ketchup

2 x 400g tinned plum tomatoes (San Marzano, or the best quality ones you can find)

1 medium onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground allspice

Salt and pepper

2 tbsp tomato puree

100g light brown sugar

100ml cider vinegar

Method

1. To make the ketchup, fry the onion and garlic in oil for 5-10 mins on a medium to low heat until soft and slightly golden. Then add the ginger, spices, tomato puree and cook for a further 2 mins.

2. Blend all cooked and remaining ingredients together and bring to a boil in the pot. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for a further 30 minutes, or until thick and shiny, stirring occasionally to ensure sauce doesn’t catch on the bottom. Adjust the sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

3. Leave to cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a month.

4. For the bacon rolls, chill the ketchup for a minimum of 2 hours before serving, then fry or grill bacon for 5-10 mins to your level of crispiness. Add to your favourite buttered roll and enjoy with your homemade ketchup!
