Tomato Puree

Cut the tomatoes in half. Drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle sea salt.

-Roast in a 350 degree oven until its wrinkled and soft. Let it cool at room temperature.

-Squeeze out the seeds and peel the tomatoes. Alternatively, you can peel the tomatoes and put it in a fine sieve, and strain out as much water as possible.

-Puree in a food mill or food processor

This should make about 2 1/2 cups, and in tomato season, you can make a big batch of this and freeze it in zip lock bags or glass jars. I use this in my clame chowders and cioppinos as well
