Step 1

PREPARE: Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6. Halve the tomatoes and place them cut side up in one layer on a large baking tray.

Step 2

ADD THE SPICES: Tuck the peppers, garlic, rosemary and oregano around the tomatoes, sprinkle over the salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toss gently to make sure everything is well coated.

Step 3

COOK: Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to scorch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute or two. Remove any dried herbs or tomato stems, and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins.

Step 4

BLEND: Transfer the mixture and all the juices in the tray to a large saucepan, and use a stick / immersion blender to puree to desired smoothness. Taste and add a little salt or sugar if necessary. Stir through chopped basil, if using.

Step 5

TRANSFER TO JARS: Transfer to clean jars and store in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze in 500ml (2 cup) portions.
