Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Dice the tomatoes and onion into small, even chunks. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a baking dish, combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Add the fresh basil and thyme leaves to the mixture, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the roasted mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let the tomato spread cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, and enjoy it as a savory topping or versatile spread.
