Jazz Up Avocado Toast With This Sweet And Savory Condiment
By KAREN HART
Avocado toast provides endless possibilities, whether you enjoy sourdough in place of other breads or you choose to add extra ingredients like cream cheese to the avocado mash. If you're looking for a way to jazz up this dish even further, you need to try this sweet and savory condiment recommended by chef Nyesha Arrington.
Arrington says that homemade tomato jam can be a game-changing addition for your avocado toast, since "it's both sweet, savory, and just a little spicy." Tomato paste is the foundation of this thick condiment, and fresh tomatoes, onions, and spices like cayenne pepper and Fresno chilis add an enticing fresh flavor to the chef's recipe.
Arrington tempers the heat of the chilies with the sweetness of agave nectar. While the meaty and chunky texture of the homemade tomato jam pairs perfectly with the creaminess of avocado, you can incorporate it in a multitude of recipes apart from avocado toast, including pasta, eggs, meat, and countless other savory dishes.
