Roast tomato and herb sauce
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- A kilo of tomatoes of all different shapes and sizes
- Plenty of good olive oil
- Fresh herb of choice or more than one - bay leaves, rosemary, parsley, coriander, lemon thyme
- Half a dozen crushed garlic cloves
- Sea salt and black pepper
Method
- STEP 1Place all the ingredients in a roasting tin in a medium oven (temp 190)
- STEP 2Leave for half an hour or until it all looks molten red and smells lovely and tomatoey - do not let it brown
- STEP 3Puree if desired, removing the hard herbs like bayleaf and rosemary first, personally I can't bear to liquidise it and eat it like it is!
- STEP 4If you are not using it immediately, let it cool then freeze it. You can use a breadknife to carve pieces off and then put it back in the freezer if you don't want to use it all at once
- STEP 5This can be used with my chilli con carne recipe
