If you've got flavourless tomatoes, try this roasted-tomato sauce. Roasting the tomatoes slowly allows the natural sugars in the tomato to caramelise - thus sweetening the flavour.
Ingredients (6)
- 1kg vine-ripened tomatoes
- 1 large onion, cut into wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 6 thyme sprigs
- 40ml (2 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.
