How to make a savoury chia seed jam
This savoury chili tomato chia seed jam recipe is so easy to make and just has a few ingredients:
- Chia seeds - great seeds to thicken the jam and make this a savoury relish.
- Tomatoes - ensure they are ripe. The better your ingredients, the better the flavour.
- Onion - a small white onion, chopped helps for the texture and flavour of the relish. Red onion would be a great substitute.
- Garlic - I have put one clove but add more if you love your garlic.
- Apple Cider Vinegar - This gives the relish a great sharp taste without being overpowering
- Dried Chilli Flakes - If you love your heat, up the quantity.
- Erythitol - Other low carb sweeteners will work just as well
- Salt & pepper - which recipe does not include this combo?!
The best thing about a chia jam is how easy it is to make. All ingredients but the chia seeds are heated in a saucepan. The chia seeds are used as a thickener.
