Ingredients
- 200 g unsalted butter cubed slightly softened
- 400 g miniature/baby tomatoes I used Mini Roma tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove halved and core removed
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon cooking salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven grill/ broiler to high.
- Halve the tomatoes and place them on a lined (see my notes) baking sheet cut side up.
- Place them under the grill about 8 - 10 cm (3 - 4") below the element.
- Grill for 6 - 8 minutes until they start to char and become soft and jammy.
- Place tomatoes in the bowl of a small food processor, along with garlic, salt and pepper.
- Blend until mostly smooth, then allow to cool (see my notes).
- Once cool, add herbs and softened unsalted butter to the processor.
- Blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as you go.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- I line my baking sheet with a layer of foil and then a layer of baking/parchment paper so they don't stick.
- Speed up the cooling process by spreading this tomato paste onto a plate etc and then placing it in the fridge (or freezer) to chill.
- Halving the tomatoes is so the juice inside the tomatoes gets direct heat.
