Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3.3 punds (1,5 kg) ripe tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 small shallots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 6 oz (125 g) silken tofu soft
- ¼ cup (70 g) tomato paste
Instructions
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Prep the veggies: Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters (or into 8 pieces if they are really large). Peel the garlic and shallots. Cut the shallots into thick slices.
Season: Place the tomatoes, shallots, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive and season with salt and oregano. Toss with your hands until everything is well covered.
Roast: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven and roast for 40 minutes until the tomatoes are bursting and the shallots are caramelized.
Blend: Add the roasted veggies, silken tofu, and tomato paste to a high-speed blender and remove the top part of the lid to let the steam escape. Alternatively, add everything to a high-rise container and use an immersion blender. Blend until perfectly smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and oregano.
Serve with pasta.
Notes
- Make a silken tofu smoothie with the rest of the silken tofu.
