Tomato Sunrise Recipes

ROASTED YELLOW TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°, and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Place the tomatoes, shallots or onions, and garlic on the prepared sheet tray.
• Toss with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the tray in the oven, and roast until the tomatoes are wilted and lightly golden brown in some spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted tomatoes and vegetables to a blender, and puree until smooth. Note: Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove any traces of skin, if you like.
• Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, and add a pinch of sugar if needed.
• Stir in the basil, and serve with your favorite pasta, poultry or seafood.
• If using yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, keep them whole. If using larger tomatoes, cut them into a large dice.
• You can easily increase this recipe as needed.
