tomato compote (see puttanesca recipe. This is a 5 hour process)

• whole star anise 
• maple syrup 
• thyme
• tomatoes
• basil
• tomato ketchup
• rosemary
• onions
• sherry vinegar
• Worcestershire sauce
• tarragon

Then mix the tomato compote with instant coffee granules (I made espresso and reduced it down to almost nothing and used that instead)

Muffins

• tomato compote coffee mixture
• more coffee
• wholemeal flour
• butter
• eggs
• wheat bran
• baking powder

After you make the 5 hour tomato compote (see puttanesca recipe) you can make these relatively quickly with the left over compote.

I didn’t have any paper muffin holders, so I just buttered a regularly muffin mould and used that.

The muffins contain a pocket of tomato-coffee jam. Cuts the muffin vertically and spreads that on the cut face.

Delicious.
