Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400°f.
• Slice tomatoes in half, set aside.
• Pour the olive oil onto a large baking sheet and spread it around the sheet.
• Sprinkle evenly the garlic, herbs, sugar, salt and pepper over the oil.
• Place the tomatoes cut side down onto the baking sheet.
• Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skins start to lift from the tomatoes.
• Allow to cool.
• Remove the skins and put the sauce into a large bowl and break up the flesh with a fork.
• Reheat sauce if using immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Oil a rack that will fit on top of a baking sheet. Place foil on the baking sheet and oil the foil, and place the rack on top. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on the rack. Sprinkle with coarse salt and a tiny amount of sugar. Place in the oven and roast for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. The tomatoes will look a little dry on the surfaces and the skin will be tough. But when you bite into the tomatoes you'll experience a rush of incredibly sweet juice and pulp. If you want to use these for a sauce, put through the fine blade of a food mill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Put tomatoes, cut sides up, in 2 large shallow baking pans. Combine garlic and oil and spoon over tomatoes. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and roast in oven 6 to 8 hours (tomatoes will be reduced in size but will retain their shape). Cool tomatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees and place the rack in the center of the oven.
• Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place shallots and thyme sprigs over tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. If doubling this recipe to use in Focaccia with Slow Roasted Tomatoes, distribute tomatoes, shallots, and thyme evenly between two baking sheets and place the sheets in upper and lower thirds of oven.
• Roast until tomatoes are wilted and browning in places, 2 to 2 1/2 hours, turning tomatoes a few times.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place tomato halves skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Add garlic cloves. Evenly drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Increase heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until tomatoes just begin to brown, 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat. Let tomatoes sit in the hot oven with the door closed until further caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer roasted tomatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add basil and use a wooden spoon to crush the mixture and break apart the tomatoes, leaving them a bit chunky. Remove peels, if desired. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with thyme leaves; season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until tomatoes begin to collapse, brushing occasionally with pan juices, about 90 minutes. This can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and olive oil in a slow cooker. Season with oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.
• Cover, and cook 10 to 15 hours on Low. The longer you simmer it the more flavorful it becomes. At 10 hours it's really good, but at 15 its even better.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Drain the tomatoes, then transfer them to a baking sheet. Gently break the tomatoes up with your hands or kitchen scissors into a mix of big and little chunks. Stir in the garlic, olive oil, hot sauce, if using, and salt.
• Roast, stirring occasionally (and more frequently after the first hour of cooking), until the tomatoes turn dark red and the edges begin to caramelize, about 2 hours. Mash with a fork to break up the garlic and any remaining chunks of tomato.
• Bring a large pot or Dutch oven of heavily salted water to the boil. Cook your pasta al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta. Return the pot to the stove, turn the heat to medium-high, then add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Let simmer until combined, glossy and saucy, about a minute or 2, adding more pasta water as needed. Add the pasta and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and basil.
• Pour half of this mixture onto a cookie sheet and spread it around.
• Place tomatoes cut-side down on cookie sheet on top of the oil blend.
• Drizzle tomatoes with remaining oil, then sprinkle with the maple sugar and salt.
• Bake slowly in oven at 300 degrees for 3 hours.
• Blend or process when done.
• Serve hot over pasta, rice, or white beans (If you don't have 3 hours, you can roast them at 400 for 30 to 45 minutes or broil for 15 minutes, but it won't taste the same).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the red pepper flakes to a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid. Stir so that everything is coated in oil and spices. Roast in the Dutch oven, uncovered, until the tomatoes start to soften and split, about 1 hour.
• Stir and flip the tomatoes, then cook until the tomatoes, garlic and onion are all browned and very soft, about 1 hour more. At this point everything should be easily smashed with the back of a spoon. Transfer the pot to the stove and keep covered.
• While the tomatoes finish roasting, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons salt and the pasta. Cook 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain the pasta.
• Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the cooked tomatoes and carefully blend with an immersion blender, tipping the pot slightly if necessary to fully submerge the blender (or transfer to a regular blender) and blend until smooth. Bring the blended sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add the drained pasta and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Adding more pasta water if the mixture needs to be saucier. Serve warm with a few basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
