Tomato Sauce
Every time when making spaghetti I use canned tomatoes. This should change. Homemade tomato sauce can’t be that difficult to make, I think.
Eventually I want to grow my own tomatoes in our garden but the winter is going strong here, and tomatoes need a lot of sun, so this should wait until summer time. Luckily the store has some varietys of tomatoes. I bought 1 kg of organic tomatoes and went cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 kg tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 red chilli pepper
- 1 onion
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- Dried or fresh herbs to taste (basil, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, sage)
How to cook
- Wash and slice the tomatoes, red chilli pepper and bell pepper and put them on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
- Cut the onion and carrot and add these to the baking tray.
- Drizzle some olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle the dried herbs, salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the vegetables in a pre-heated oven (180 °C) for about an hour.
- When the vegetables are roasted for an hour, take them out of the oven and into a food processor. Make a smooth sauce and add some more herbs if necessary.
