By [e-mail]

1/2 teaspoon of salt may be added, if allowed.

Ingredients

• 6 lbs tomatoes, washed and core removed
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup red onion
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme or oregano
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Make an “X” in the bottom of each tomato. Place the tomatoes in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove and cool enough to touch. Remove the skin and seeds.
Roughly chop. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat. Occasionally mash with a potato masher to break up large chunks.
Add the herbs and pepper.
Cook for 30 minutes on low heat. Serve immediately or freeze.
