List of Ingredients
extra virgin olive oil
6 large, ripe, meaty tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
fresh oregano to taste
6–8 leaves of fresh basilRecipe
Pre-heat oven to 450°F. Oil a thick baking sheet with the olive oil. Wash
your tomatoes, pat dry, and place on the baking sheet. Place tomatoes in
oven and let bake until the tops are charred and the seeds are spilling onto
the baking tray and beginning to caramelize. Watch carefully so that the
tomatoes don't burn but yet have scorched sufficiently. Remove from oven and
let cool slightly. Transfer from baking sheet to a large bowl, stirring to
mush it up a bit. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper to taste, stir; toss in
the oregano, stir again; and tear in the basil leaves. Use it any way you
would use any tomato sauce.
