Homemade ketchup ( A summer relish)

The things you do when you have all time in the world, aka when you are on holidays. 

I read this recipe in a German magazine and was very sceptical that it would work.

But having a well equipped kitchen in our apartment and all the ingredients available in the local super market, I decided to give it a try.

It only takes five minutes, that's all and the result is delicious. When husband asked for more I knew this is one recipe I have to write down and do again. See if the second time it is as tasty.

And it was!

But what I forgot to do is taking photos. So this one is just plain!

Ingredients

Two big vine tomatoes , cut in pieces

2 dates ( I used fresh Israeli ones, if you can't get them, use dried ones but double the quantity), cut

A piece of ginger 2cm, grated.

One fresh chili, low to medium hot, chop

Five pieces of sun dried tomatoes in oil, chop 

Some salt to taste

Some balsamic vinegar to taste

Method

Put all the ingredients in a Mixer or use a Blender and purée until you have a smooth consistency. If it is a little too thick, add a little oil from the dried tomatoes.

Adjust the flavouring.

This "sauce" is great with any barbecued meat and at the same time a great dip. Makes a change from the usual dips!

Have fun making and trying it.

Found the draft while checking another recipe I wrote, so I decided to publish it here and now!😊
