Grilled Cherry Tomato Chutney Recipes

GRILLED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place tomatoes on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 12 in.). In a small skillet, saute garlic and oregano in butter for 2 minutes. Pour over tomatoes. Fold foil around tomatoes and seal tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until tomatoes are heated through. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

CHERRY TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Add the oil to a medium-sized saucepan (see Kitchen Notes below).
• Cook the onion and garlic with a pinch of sea salt over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they have softened.
• Add the cherry tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, sea salt and pepper.
• Mix well.
• Turn the heat up to high and let the mixture come to a boil.
• Keep cooking at high heat for about 15-30 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and looks jammy. The tomatoes will release some liquid during cooking, and the mixture will start to thicken once the liquid evaporates.
• During this time, gently break down any tomatoes with a wooden spoon and stir the mixture from to time to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Once the mixture has thickened, taste for seasoning. You may want to add some more sugar or more vinegar.
• Serve the tomato relish warm, or spoon the mixture into a warm sterilised jar and seal.

GRILLED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove stems from tomatoes. With the tip of a sharp knife, pierce tomatoes. Carefully insert a sliver of garlic into each tomato.
• Place tomatoes in the center of a 18x12 sheet of foil. Drizzle tomatoes with the olive oil; sprinkle with rosemary, parsley, sugar and salt. Bring the two long sides of the foil together and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose tomatoes.
• Grill tomatoes on the rack of a grill directly over coals or gas burners for 4 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Or bake in a preheated 350*F. oven for 4 to 5 minute or until heated through.
• To serve, carefully open foil packet(watch out for hot steam!). Move tomatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

MARINATED GRILLED CHERRY TOMATOES SKEWERS

• Heat the grill to high.
• Remove the tomatoes from the marinade and skewer 4 per skewer, depending on the size of the tomatoes). Season on both sides with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a platter and garnish with chives.

WHOLE GRILLED PORGY WITH SMOKEY TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Put the cauliflower florets onto a baking sheet and into the oven to roast until nicely browned, about 20 minutes. Keep warm until service.
• In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes, eggplant and carrots with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the potatoes, eggplant and carrots on the grill. Grill until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Put onto a baking sheet and into the oven until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Keep warm until service.
• For the chutney: Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots and caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the jalapeno and tomatoes, tossing to combine. Turn down the heat. Add the clam juice, orange juice, lime juice, cumin and smoked paprika. Simmer on low until the liquid dissolves, about 2 minutes. You may need to add more clam juice in order to further cook the tomatoes.
• For the porgy: Rinse the porgy in cold water and pat dry. This is very important; the fish needs to be completely dry or it will stick to your grill! Rub the porgy with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Get your grill screaming hot. Place your porgy at 10 o'clock and don't touch it! Leave it for a few minutes, and then lift slightly with a fish spatula to check for lines and sticking. If it's sticking, leave it there another 2 minutes or so, and then carefully turn it to 1 o'clock. Leave it there long enough to get some nice black lines, and then flip. Again, get some nice black lines and then either finish it on the grill or pop it in a 350 degree F oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness. Cooking time varies based on the size of fish so you have, to feel it out. It is perfectly acceptable for a porgy to be served "pink on the bone." In fact, some Montauk locals will send it back to the kitchen if it's cooked any further!
• Place the whole grilled porgy on a serving plate. Serve the roasted vegetables on the side and top with some of the chutney.

GRILLED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH CURRY AND GOLDEN RAISINS

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the flames have died down, all the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill for about 5 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, toss the cherry tomatoes with the oil, sprinkle them generously with the salt and pepper and thread them onto skewers loosely enough so they are just touching. Prepare the remaining ingredients but keep them separate.
• Put the tomato skewers on the grill directly over the coals and cook, rolling around a few times, just until they are slightly soft and a bit blistered, 3 to 4 minutes. Slide the tomatoes off the skewers into a large bowl, add the yogurt, raisins, mint and curry powder one after another, toss, season to taste if needed and serve.
