Tomato Jam with Lemons

Sweet, sour, savory and spiced, this slow-cooked tomato jam was created by Moroccan-born chef Mourad Lahlou. It’s a versatile condiment—serve on crostini spread with fresh goat cheese, as in this recipe, or use as a sandwich spread. The jam is also excellent with grilled or roasted lamb, egg dishes, potatoes, rice and couscous.
