SLOW-COOKER ROASTED TOMATO BASIL SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using an immersion blender or a standing blender, puree the soup until creamy.
• Stack and roll the basil leaves, then thinly slice. Add some to the soup and stir to incorporate.
• Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with more basil.
• Enjoy!

SLOW-COOKED TOMATOES WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Spread the tomato halves over 2 large baking trays, cut-side up. Season with salt and pepper, scatter with the herbes de Provence and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 3-4 hrs, or until semi-dried and intensely red. They should be dry in the middle and have a chewy texture - the best way to test is to try one. Place a small basil leaf or piece of torn basil on top of each tomato half for the final hour of cooking.
• Heat the oil and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pack into jars or heatproof containers (as before) and cover with the oil. Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:
