Easy. Tomatoey. Saucy, Tasty.
Grow some tomatoes.
When ripe, pick some tomatoes.
Roast 750g of roughly chopped tomatoes with two peeled garlic cloves in olive oil for 40 minutes at 180 degrees C.
Soften a small, finely chopped banana shallot in light olive oil and add your roast tomatoes - prepare for frowns if you use Patience Gray’s ‘Honey From A Weed’ as a trivet.
Add a tablespoon of sherry vinegar and create smoothness with a stick blender. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Lemon juice will brighten things even more if you have some.
Pass through a sieve if you like. I didn’t this time.
Sweet, fruity, tangy, bright. Tomatoey. Use with fish, vegetables or pasta - or what takes your fancy.
Plenty to go at. Freeze some for later if you like.
That’s enough for you to be getting on with.
Bye.
