Tomato salsa preserve and chickpea flat breads

Lunch can be an endless cycle of soups and sandwiches so i planned to break this and do something different today with tomato salsa preserve and some chickpea flatbreads



my inspiration for the tomato salsa came from a small pot of tomato relish we were given for Christmas, it was so tasty i kept the bottle and jotted down the ingredients and had a go at making some my self

here's my recipe below
Ingredients
tomato salsa
2kg of tomatoes
1 brambly apple
2 red onions
2 red peppers
3 garlic cloves
2 red chilli's
165g soft brown sugar
500ml cider vinegar
2 teaspoons of salt
Bay leaf

1 roast peppers in the oven till skins blacken and blister then peel
2 score the tomato skins and pour boiling water over them till the skins blister then peel
3 place in a food processor the onions, apples, red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, chilli and bled until chopped
4 put processed mix in a pan with the sugar, salt, bay leaf and vinegar and stir over a low heat till the sugar has melted
5 bring to the boil then simmer for 1 hour and 15 mins till the sauce is thick and pulpy making sure that you stir it from time to time
6 pour into sterilised jars and leave to develop for a week

Chickpea flat breads
21g of dried yeast
15g of honey
1/4 of a pint of tepid water
500g strong flour
15g salt
1tbsp cumin seeds
1tbsp coriander seeds
1 can of chickpeas

put the flour and salt on a clean surface and make a well then stir the honey and yeast into the water and add to the centre of the well and bring together and make a dough, need the dough for a good 5 mins if this is too much hard work get an eager 2 year old to help out.

Then add your mashed up chickpeas, cumin and coriander and need this in then leave to prove for an hour in a warm place.

knock back the dough and pull small handfuls of dough and roll this out to about half a cm place in the oven which is pre heated to 220c and bake for 5 mins then check to see if they are cooked.  basically i sit in front of my oven and check the breads every few mins after the initial 5 mins to see if they are cooked, browned and ready.
