    A low carb chia seed jam recipe with tomatoes and chili makes a great spicy low carb relish. Slather this spicy chia jam over a cucumber canape or keto crackers.

    This savoury chia seed jam is a great alternative to sweet chia jam recipes. It's the perfect relish for a vegetarian burger. The addition of chili to this tomato jam makes gives a lift of flavour. It's not too hot but gives the right about of tingle on your palate.

    I love to serve this chia relish with a cheese board and low carb crackers. It's a must addition to any gathering. Any cheese board at my house will always feature this tomato jam. It might get lost in the range of cheeses and side dishes, but I know it's there to enjoy!

    Protein in Chia Seeds

    A one ounce (28g) serving of chia seeds yields 4g net protein. The are a great source of protein for keto vegetarians and vegans.

    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.

    Recipe Tips

    Store this savoury chia jam in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It should last about a week.

    Feel free to add other flavouring to this great savoury chia jam. Perhaps a dash of cumin or lemon juice.
