Recipe Introduction


Phase 2 & 3 only.





List of Ingredients



• 8-10 ripe tomatoes, cored, halved, and seeded
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  
• 2 red onions, chopped
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 3 cups defatted, reduced-sodium chicken stock
  
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  






Instructions



1. Preheat broiler. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place tomatoes on the baking sheet, cut-side down. Broil until skins are blistered, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Slip off skins and chop coarsely.
   
2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until the onions are very soft, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth, return to the saucepan. Stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
