Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds tomatoes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
4 small sprigs rosemary
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Slice a thin round off the bottom of each tomato. Starting at cut end, grate tomatoes on the largest holes of a grater over a medium bowl until all that's left is the flattened tomato skin and stem; discard. Season grated flesh with several generous pinches of salt.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, tossing, just until fragrant and starting to brown around edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, add tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
  • Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
