Roasted tomato sugo

Roasted tomato sugo, also known as roasted tomato sauce, is a rich and flavorful addition to many dishes. This simple yet delicious recipe uses ripe tomatoes, garlic, aromatic herbs, and olive oil to create a sauce that pairs perfectly with pasta, meats, or even as a dip for bread.

Ingredients:

6 tomatoes
780g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup dried oregano
50g
1 tbsp basil
4g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (around 400°F).
2. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut them into quarters and remove the cores.
- Place the tomato quarters on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
3. Add Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
- Scatter the sliced garlic over the tomatoes on the baking sheet.
4. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the tomatoes and garlic.
- Add the fresh basil by tearing the leaves into smaller pieces and spreading them over the tomatoes.
5. Drizzle with Olive Oil:
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
6. Roasting:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes become tender and start to caramelize.
7. Blending:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted tomatoes to cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and herbs into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth, or to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to adjust the consistency.
8. Final Touches:
- Taste the sugo and adjust seasoning if needed (add salt and pepper to taste).

Tips:

- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes for optimal flavor and sweetness.

- To enhance the flavor, roast the tomatoes and garlic until they have a slight char.

- For a smoother sauce, blend the roasted tomatoes and herbs in a food processor or blender.

- Adjust the seasonings to your taste; adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or a splash of balsamic vinegar can bring out more depth in the sauce.

- Store any leftover sugo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

- Experiment with additional herbs and spices, such as thyme or red pepper flakes, to customize your sugo.
