Roasted Tomato Sauce

🔥 Instructions

  1. Roast the tomatoes Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C). Place tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes on a roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 30–45 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
  2. Sauté aromatics In a deep pot, heat a splash of olive oil. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft. Add the roasted tomatoes and garlic (discard herb stems), then stir in sugar and stock.
  3. Simmer and blend Simmer for 15–20 minutes until slightly thickened. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth sauce, or mash with a fork for a rustic texture.
  4. Store or serve Use immediately, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze in airtight containers for up to 4 months.
