Tomato Sauce with Capsicum
This incredibly useful sauce is great tossed through pasta, as a base for soup, added to casseroles and pan sauces, and spread onto bread with cheese for a simple lunch snack.
Makes about 3 cups
1.5kg tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges..  2 red capsicums, deseeded and cut into eighths..1 large onion, cut into thin wedges.. 2 tbsp sugar
4 cloves garlic, peeled.. 1 tsp chopped rosemary leaves.. 1/4 cup tomato paste..2 tbsp olive oil.. 1 tsp salt.. Black Pepper
Optional:
1 small chilli, seeded and chopped
Method:
Preheat your oven to 160C. Prepare all the vegetables and place in a large roasting dish lined with baking paper. The vegetables need to be in a single layer so they roast and caramelise rather than stew.  Add the garlic, rosemary leaves and chilli, if using. In a small bowl mix together the tomato paste, sugar, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Spoon this mixture over the sliced vegetables and stir through to coat evenly.
Bake for about 2 hours or until the vegetables are starting to caramelise and shrivel a little.
Allow the sauce to cool and purée in a food processor or blender. The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week or can be frozen.
Alternatively, bring the puréed sauce to a boil and while very hot pour into sterilised jars. Cover with pop top lids and leave to cool then seal.
Sealed jars will keep for months in the pantry.
