Time 1h

Yield 3 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 large tomatoes or 2 lbs roma tomatoes
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Slice tomatoes in half. Slice top 1/2 inch off of garlic to expose cloves. Arrange garlic and tomatoes (cut side up) on foil-lined baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over garlic. (This will keep garlic from drying out and getting bitter.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for easier handling.
  • Pour juice out of tomatoes. Discard juice. Squeeze tomato pulp and roasted garlic into blender or food processor. Dicard tomato skins and garlic paper. Blend or process for 5-10 seconds to obtain a smooth consistency.
