To Prepare Sriracha Aioli:
In a stainless-steel mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix until well-blended. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
To Prepare Tomato Jam:
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix until well-blended. Place tomatoes on a non-stick sheet pan. Scrape any excess oil from bowl and place on top of tomatoes. Roast in a preheated 450-degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tomatoes are blistered and soft. Do not char. Place in a mixing bowl while still warm. Scrape any excess oil and seasoning from sheet pan and place on top of tomatoes. Using a wire whisk, mash tomatoes into ½-inch pieces. Do not blend, puree or use food processor. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
To Prepare Sweet Potato Hash:
In a large stockpot, bring water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until half cooked. Immediately drain potatoes into a colander or strainer under cold water. Drain well. In a bowl, combine blanched potatoes, peppers, onion, oil, salt and pepper. Toss gently to evenly coat. Place in a single layer on a sheet tray. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place in oven and roast for 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from heat. Serve hot.
