Method
step 1
Place all the ingredients in a roasting tin in a medium oven (temp 190)step 2
Leave for half an hour or until it all looks molten red and smells lovely and tomatoey - do not let it brownstep 3
Puree 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 4
If 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 oncestep 5
This can be used with my chilli con carne recipe
