Ingredients

1 kg tomatoes (halved)
2 medium onions (chopped roughly)
2 garlic cloves (skinned and sliced)
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
A little wine or water

Handy Hint

This can cook in the oven while it is on for something else. It freezes well and is excellent for using up a glut of tomatoes from the garden or bought cheap in the supermarket. Vary it by roasting red peppers with the tomatoes, and/or add chilli pepper or herbs. This makes quite a large amount but it can be frozen in small quantities. Use some to make beetroot and tomato soup (see my other recipe) or Moroccan meatballs (see my other recipe)

Method

1. Put tomatoes cut side up on a baking tray. Spread onions and garlic on top and season well. Drizzle with olive oil and cook in a medium or hot oven for 40 to 60 minutes (depending on what else you have in the oven at the same time).
2. It does not matter if some of it gets a bit brown, that just deepens the flavour.
3. Cool slightly and turn into a blender. Loosen the stuck bits with wine or water and add to the blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste, and if it looks peely wally, add a little tomato purée.

*Judi45* Peely wally is a Scottish expression meaning pale. Often used to describe children who aren’t looking well.

Sounds lovely and not too difficult (I am trying to get ideas for home cooked meals that are not too complicated!)
