Ingredients
- Italian tomatoes - 10 (very ripe, cut in half)
- garlic cloves - 3 (1 slice for roasting, 2 cloves for blending)
- salt - watch the video to see (for seasoning tomatoes before roasting)
- olive oil - 1 tablespoon (a drizzle for roasting)
- black pepper - watch the video to see (for seasoning tomatoes before roasting)
- thyme - 1 small bunch (fresh, for roasting)
- apple cider vinegar - 50 grams (for seasoning after blending)
- sugar - 30 grams (for seasoning after blending)
- water - watch the video to see (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare Tomatoes: Cut very ripe Italian tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet.
- Add Seasonings: Place a slice of garlic on top of the tomatoes. Season with salt, olive oil, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
- Roast Tomatoes: Bake in the oven at 140ºC for approximately 2 hours until tomatoes are caramelized. If your oven doesn’t reach 140ºC, use the lowest setting but expect longer baking time.
- Blend Ingredients: Put the roasted tomatoes and garlic cloves into a blender. Add apple cider vinegar and sugar. Blend until desired consistency is reached.
- Adjust Texture: If necessary, add a little water to adjust consistency. For a rustic texture, blend briefly. For a smooth ketchup, blend longer and strain through a sieve.
