Ingredients
2
kg
approximately 4lb ripe tomatoes (I use a mixture and like to roast them with the vines)
2-3
tablespoons
olive oil
4-6
garlic cloves
2
sprigs fresh rosemary
small handful fresh thyme leaves
½
teaspoon
chilli flakes/red pepper flakes
1
teaspoon
salt
black pepper to taste
for the sauce
2
red onions
finely chopped
2-3
garlic cloves
thinly sliced
salt & pepper
to taste
1-2
teaspoons
sugar
optional
½-1
cup
vegetable stock
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray then add the olive oil and flavourings.
Mix to combine.
Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to char.
Remove and set aside.
Heat a splash of oil in a deep pot then add the onion and allow to soften for a few minutes.
Add the garlic and allow to saute for a minute before adding the roasted tomatoes.
Add the sugar (if using) then pour in the stock.
Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
At this point you can keep the sauce rustic and chunky and freeze in ziploc bags or keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Alternatively, blend until as smooth as you prefer and then freeze/keep in the fridge.
