How to make Roasted Tomato Sauce and/or Puree
10:22 PM
Tis the season to collect all those delicious vine ripe tomatoes and create something fabulous with them. As you know, I'm a big fan of roasting veggies. Their flavor becomes more rich through the roasting process. Each season I roast my tomatoes. I like to make spaghetti sauce, soups and stews with them.
Roasted Tomato Sauce/Puree Recipe
preheat oven to 400
8 tomatoes
1 small yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1/3 cup fresh herbs (anything really, parsley, sage, thyme or basil)
pinch of salt & pepper
Wash and core tomatoes. Cut into quarters. Add cut onions, garlic and fresh herbs. Toss with olive oil and then add salt and pepper; I also like to add our own blend of Herbs de Provence. Toss your veggies well and place on a cookie sheet, being carful not to crowd. Roast in oven until all veggies are golden brown. Take out of oven and cool. At this point I like to place them in a freezer bag and freeze. When you want to use them just take them out and un-thaw.
Puree the sauce and add chicken, then pour over pasta. You won't be sorry you went to the effort to preserve these delicious tomatoes!
