HOMEMADE KETCHUP

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, mustard powder, allspice and cayenne and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute, then add the whole peeled tomatoes and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon; remove from the heat.
• Puree the ketchup in batches in a blender until smooth; return to the pot. Add the bay leaves, brown sugar, vinegar, molasses and 4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until very thick, about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and let the ketchup cool. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
• Cook 3 slices finely chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 12 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the pan, then stir in 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir in 1 cup homemade ketchup (above); simmer 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar and thin with water, if necessary. Serve warm.
• Peach-Curry Ketchup
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped peeled peaches, 1 teaspoon chopped peeled ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup homemade ketchup (above); simmer 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add 2 tablespoons water; puree until smooth.
• Chop 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, then mash with the flat side of the knife. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Stir in 1 teaspoon each lime juice and honey and thin with water, if necessary.

SUNNY'S MEAT AND POTATOES BUNDT LOAF

Steps:

• For the potatoes: In a large bowl of cold water, add the potato slices and rest at room temperature, draining, rinsing and changing the water halfway through, for 30 minutes.
• For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside bottom and sides of a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the breadcrumbs, onion, pesto, ketchup, 2 teaspoons salt and plenty of black pepper. Stir to combine and whisk in the eggs. Add the meatloaf blend and gently mix to distribute the ingredients. Press the meatloaf into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the bundt pan and, using a medium bowl or liquid measure cup, gently tilt the pan and drain out the juices, reserving 1/2 cup. Place the foil-lined baking sheet on top of the bundt and, holding them together, flip them to unmold the loaf onto the baking sheet. Turn the oven up to 375 degrees F.
• Drain, rinse and dry the potatoes on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the bowl and place the potatoes back in along with the melted butter, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently mix to coat. Begin to layer the curved top of the loaf with the potato slices, overlapping them slightly around the loaf, covering the top and about one-third of the way down the side of the loaf all around. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the potatoes begin to curl and become slightly golden on the edges, about 30 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the 1/2 cup pan drippings, the ketchup, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the hot sauce and stir in the parsley. Pour over the loaf and serve.

SUNNY'S EASY BK CURRYWURST

Steps:

• For the curry ketchup sauce: In a medium pot on medium heat, add the ketchup, honey, curry powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook while stirring until the curry powder melts into the ketchup and the red color deepens, about 5 minutes.
• For the wurst and onions. In a large pot on medium-low heat, add the wurst in 1 layer, then pour the stock over the top. Cover, bring just to a simmer and gently simmer until the wurst is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the wurst from the pot, place on the grill, drizzle with a little olive oil and cook until charred on both sides and slightly bursting, 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Toss the onion slices with olive oil, add to the grill and cook until charred on only one side, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. Cut each wurst link into 1/2-inch discs and chop the onion slices.
• Open the rolls by splitting them across the top, then scoop the wurst and onions into the rolls. Sprinkle with curry powder and drizzle with the curry ketchup sauce.

SUNNY'S CURRYWURST WITH QUICK-PICKLED PEPPERS AND ONIONS AND SUNNY'S CURRY KETCHUP

Steps:

• In a large pan with straight sides, or in a pot, add the bratwurst links, beer, liquid smoke, red pepper flakes, whole black peppercorns, garlic, onion, all of the bell peppers and a nice pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer for 15 minutes. Flip and nudge the bratwursts if they stick out above the liquid as they cook.
• Brush a grill with oil, then heat the grill to medium-high. Remove the bratwursts from the liquid and place on the grill. Cook 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to brown and blacken all sides (don't worry about the concave side). Remove from the grill and allow to rest under aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, add the sugar and vinegar to the pan with the cooked peppers and onions. Stir into the beer mixture until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Warm the buns or bread in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the bread.
• Slice each bratwurst into 1/2-inch discs and place inside the warmed bread. Using tongs, grab and shake any excess liquid off the quick-pickled peppers and onions, then top each bratwurst with an equal amount. Top that with a nice and hefty dollop or two of Sunny's Curry Ketchup.
• Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise, sugar, curry powder, allspice, peppercorns, a pinch of salt, corn syrup and vinegar in a stock pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a light simmer. Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to mash down and break up the tomatoes as it heats up.
• Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 45 minutes more to evaporate and thicken while stirring occasionally. Remove the cinnamon stick, anise pod and ginger. Using an immersion blender or a stand blender (slightly cool?), blend until smooth. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or until cool. Taste and if needed, add vinegar 1/2 teaspoon at a time to balance the sweetness.

SUNNY'S BK CURRYWURST PULL APART PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• For the sauce: Use cooking spray to coat the inside of an 8-inch springform pan. Spray the outside of a 3 1/2- to 3 3/4-inch-diameter ramekin and place it in the center of the springform pan. Set aside.
• Whisk together the ketchup, honey, curry powder and plenty of black pepper in a small saucepot. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat; set aside.
• For the rolls: Lightly dust your work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Unroll the puff pastry and roll out to a 14-by-9-inch rectangle. Dust the top all over with the curry powder. Using one frank as a guide, cut the pastry into strips slightly smaller than the franks, about 1 1/4-by-2 1/4 inches. Roll each frank in a piece of pastry and pinch the seam to close it.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Starting with the outer circle and allowing some space between, place each pig in a blanket vertically in the prepared springform pan in two concentric circles. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake until the tops are golden, about 35 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and bake until the inner puff pastry is baked through, about 25 minutes more. Pour the sauce in the ramekin and serve.

CURRY PORK BURGERS WITH SPICY KETCHUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using your hands mix together pork, coriander, curry powder, Worcestershire, cayenne, scallions and garlic, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Make 6 even patties and put in refrigerator until ready to cook. Heat a large fry pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Sear patties until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cook in batches, if necessary. Serve inside hamburger buns topped with lettuce leaf, tomato slice and spicy ketchup.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, lightly saute garlic in butter, about 2 minutes. Add ketchup, red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. Cook another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in scallions. Cool before serving.

HOMEMADE TOMATO KETCHUP

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk in the tomato paste, 2 tablespoons each of the cider vinegar and brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the water. Season with the onion, garlic and mustard powders along with the celery salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and salt.
• Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently and adding more sugar or vinegar if desired and more water to reach your desired consistency.
• Season to taste with more salt, if needed, and allow to cool before transferring to a bottle or jar and storing in the fridge for up to 1 month.

SUNNY'S AWARD WINNING CURRY-STYLE DOG

Steps:

• Cook the wieners: In a large pan, add the butter, oil and onions and cook over medium heat until the onions have softened, about 6 minutes. Add the hot dogs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the hot dogs take on some color, about 5 minutes.
• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, honey, curry powder and a few grinds of black pepper until combined. Pour over the hot dogs and onions and cook until the ketchup color deepens and the consistency thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Build the hot dogs: Add an equal amount of prepared fries to each opened bun. Top with an equal amount of the curry wiener mixture and a dusting of curry powder to finish. Serve.

HOMEMADE KETCHUP

Steps:

• Put the onions and celery into a food processor and whizz until finely chopped. Heat the oil in a very large saucepan, add the onions and celery, cover, then soften over a low heat for 5 mins. Add the garlic, cook 5 mins more, then tip in the spices and cook for 1 min.
• Now stir in all remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. Keep on a bubbling simmer, uncovered, for 1 hr until the tomatoes are squashy and the liquid has reduced by several inches. Discard the cinnamon stick.
• Whizz the mix with a stick blender until smooth, then sieve into a bowl. The ketchup will thicken a little when it cools, but if yours seems very runny (this will depend on the juiciness of your tomatoes), put it back on the heat and cook a little longer, stirring often, until reduced. Keep the ketchup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months, or freeze in batches. If you like, keep in sterilised bottles or jars for up to 6 months - see tip, below.
