To prepare our delicious homemade ketchup, start by thinly slicing the onions after cleaning them. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the onions for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n
Next, add the tomato puree, ground ginger, hot paprika, finely chopped cloves, flour, red wine vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
\nSeason the mixture with a little freshly grated nutmeg and mix thoroughly.<\/p>\n
Continue cooking the sauce for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
\nOnce the sauce is cooked, blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and uniform consistency. Your homemade ketchup is now ready to be served.<\/p>\n
Store the ketchup in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.<\/p>\n
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess by increasing or decreasing the amount of sugar and vinegar.<\/p>\n
Ketchup pairs perfectly with mayonnaise and mustard, making it ideal for French fries, hamburgers, and hot dogs.<\/p>\n
You can use fresh tomatoes or high-quality tomato puree. If using fresh tomatoes, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes, peel, and chop them before cooking.<\/p>\n
Although modern ketchup is mainly associated with American cuisine, it has very ancient origins. Its history can be traced back to fermented fish-based sauces used in China and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
Originally, ketchup was made from fermented fish, but over time the recipe evolved, introducing tomato-based versions that became much more popular worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
