Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 pounds garden-grown red tomatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup minced sweet onion

3 cloves garlic -- minced

Sugar to taste

Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to

taste

Minced fresh basil, thyme or -- rosemary to

taste

 

Spray a well-scrubbed grill with Pam and heat until hot. (We like to

add some hickory, apple, or cherrywood chips just before the food is

placed on the grill.) Carefully arrange the tomatoes over the heat

and turn often. The goal is to blister the tomatoes evenly, not to

burn them. When they are well blistered, remove the tomatoes from the

grill and let them sit until they are cool enough to handle. Remove

stems and any burned skin areas, then coarsely chop the roasted

tomatoes.

 

Heat olive oil over low heat in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart pot. Add

onion and garlic and cook slowly until onion becomes transparent.

Then add tomatoes. After 20 minutes, taste mixture and add sugar,

salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 40 minutes. Remove pot from

heat and let cool for 15 minutes.

 

Puree tomatoes in a food mill and discard skin and seeds. Season with

herbs according to your tast
