The Forever Versatile Tomato Jam Recipe

 . You might notice that i use tomato jam in a few of my dishes. The reason for that, is because it is super versatile. It adds a simple, yet complex component to a dish. It may add a subtle sweetness to a savory beignet, or a slight acidic component to a dish with confit pork belly and deviled eggs with black truffles.
Those are just a couple of dishes we've used it for in the past,at the NO.VI chophouse, where i am the executive chef. Here i am sharing that recipe with you. Cheers!

  1. Hi-
    Enjoying your blog. Had deviled eggs with truffle, tomato jam and bacon at a restaurant and can't stop thinking about them. how would you go about making them? I couldn't figure out what kind of mustard they used. I didn't find a deviled egg recipe on your site - have you posted one?
    Thanks for your time!
