Tomato Passata
This roasted tomato sauce is a simple yet versatile condiment that beautifully captures the essence of fresh tomatoes and aromatic garlic. The tomatoes are gently roasted with garlic and olive oil until they have collapsed, creating a rich, flavorful base that can elevate a variety of dishes with its sweet and savory notes. Enjoy it as a sauce, soup base, or stew enhancer straight away, or store it for later use in the freezer or fridge.
