Ingredients:
-1 pound of small slicer tomatoes, chopped
-1 medium yellow onion, chopped
-1 ounce fresh basil (about 1 1/2 cups)
-1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
-1 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
-1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (I just mix a few different seasonings together myself)
-1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)
How To:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
1. In a large roasting dish, combine above ingredients (except honey) and toss to incorporate.
2. Toast veggies for 30 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and cool.
4. Blend in food processor or blender of choice, add in honey at this time if desired. I add in about 1/4 teaspoon, just to offset the acidic tomatoes-add more if using very acidic tomatoes.
Notes:
Using the right tomatoes is key. Try to use meaty tomatoes that don't have much juice. I use romas but I squeeze out some of the juice. Original recipe from the Tasty alternative blog. I changed the temp and time to suit my taste I like a little char on my veggies. I also like to double it and freeze a bit for next time.
