Tomato Relish

Charcoal Grilled Shishitos

Tomato Caramel

Panko Topping

Nduja

Method

Preparation of Tomato Relish

  1. 1

    Make the Tomato Relish

    In a medium saucepan, combine heirloom tomatoes, red onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. Let it cool.

Grilling Shishitos

  1. 2

    Grill the Shishitos

    Preheat a grill or grill pan. Toss shishito peppers with olive oil and sea salt. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until blistered and tender.

Making Tomato Caramel

  1. 3

    Prepare Tomato Caramel

    In a saucepan, combine pureed heirloom tomatoes and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth.

Panko Topping

  1. 4

    Prepare Panko Topping

    In a bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Set aside.

Assembly

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, spoon a layer of tomato relish, top with grilled shishitos, drizzle with tomato caramel, and sprinkle the panko topping. Add dollops of nduja around the plate for flavor.
