Time 1h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leave
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
5 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • For the Sun-dried Tomato Jam: Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the Crostini: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.
  • Place the soft goat cheese in a small bowl. Stir in the thyme.
  • To assemble: Spread the crostini with Sun-Dried Tomato Jam and top with the goat cheese and herb mixture. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Categories     Food Processor     Olive     Tomato     Bake     Cocktail Party     Capers     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
3/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup drained capers
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 French-bread baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Additional olive oil

Steps:

  • Using on/off turns, finely chop olives and tomatoes in processor. Add 2/3 cup oil, capers, and oregano; blend to coarse puree. Transfer to bowl. (Tapenade can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bread slices on baking sheet. Brush lightly with additional oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Spread tomato tapenade on toasts and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your jam has the best possible flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes. Otherwise, they will lose their sweetness and become mushy.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the jam. This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Be patient when making the tapenade. It takes time to develop its full flavor.
  • Use a variety of olives in your tapenade. This will give it a more complex flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the tapenade. This will brighten up the flavor.
  • Serve the jam and tapenade on crostini or crackers. This is a classic way to enjoy them.

These are just a few tips for making tomato jam and olive tapenade. With a little experimentation, you can create your own unique recipes that you and your friends will love. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
