Roasted Tomato Sauce
Ingredients and Method
- 1kg ripe tomatoes
- chopped rough 4 cloves garlic
- crushed with salt 2 tsp fresh ground white pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 bunch thyme or tarragon
- Heat oven to 120C.
- Put all ingredients into baking tray with herbs tied in a bunch for easy removal. Bake for 2 hours or until little moisture is left. You can then sieve the mixture, or put it through a mould to make a smooth sauce, or not if you want it textured.
- Check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for later use with pasta, in stews or braises, as a soup base or whatever!
