Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat ove to 400 F

Step 2

Drizzle a large, rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic and shallot.

Step 3

Place the sliced tomatoes cut-side down on the sheet pan and roast 30 minutes. Add the oregano and basil and roast 10 more minutes, or until skins have lifted off the tomatoes.

Step 4

Let cool, pull off the skins, then pour all the tomatoes and their roasting juices into a bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher. Season with salt and pepper. Sometimes, to bring the flavor around I’ll add a little sugar. This depends on your palate and the tomatoes you are using ( some are sweeter than others). Start with ½ a teaspoon. Taste, adjust.

Step 5

To use right away, reheat in a pan or pot. Or refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze (see notes).
