Ingredients
- 2 kg approximately 4lb ripe tomatoes (I use a mixture and like to roast them with the vines) Quartered or roughly chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-6 garlic cloves peeled (I don't bother chopping the garlic as it will get blended with the sauce)
- 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 390°F/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.
