Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds red ripe Roma tomatoes -- (approximately 1 kg) or other tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey -- preferably wildflower honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- (I used half a quill of cinnamon, not ground, and pulled it out of the tomatoes just before serving)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon orange flower water
1 teaspoon sesame seeds -- (1 to 2)
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (approximately 220°C) Arrange tomatoes on a
baking sheet and roast turning occasionally, until charred and soft, about
1 hour. Let cool, then peel, core, seed and coarsely chop to make about 1
½ – 2 cups (do not use a food processor).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (frying pan) until shimmering.
Add the tomatoes and cook over moderately high heat, stirring frequently,
until all the liquid has evaporated and the tomatoes are sizzling and
beginning to brown, about 8 minutes.
3. Add the honey, cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a
minute to bring up the flavours. Remove from the heat and let cool. Add
the orange flower water and correct the seasoning adding more cinnamon if
desired. Serve in a flat bowl, garnished with a topping of sesame seeds.
Makes 1 1/2 to 2 cups (14 two-tablespoon servings)
I was so intrigued by this recipe I had to cook it! The natural sweetness
of the scorched tomatoes is enhanced by the honey and orange flower water,
but it also has a savoury edge. Wolfert suggests serving it atop a little
couscous, or with some grilled flatbread – both of which would be
delicious.
